"Alexa! Come look at Toulouse and Ophelia!" I said.
Alexa came running from the kitchen and into the living room. Toulouse and Ophelia were cleaning each other's teeth, but it really looked as if they were making out. I always thought of Toulouse being gay...but I guess not.
"Well. They certainly have a thing for each other," Alexa said. We both laughed and watched Toulouse and Ophelia run off together.
My mom walked in then and said, "We better get going sweetie, if we want to be in Toronto on time."
"And I'll be here taking care of your babies while your gone," Alexa said.
Sirius, another of my dogs ran up to me, jumping on my leg, meaning he wanted me to pay attention to him. "Oh, my love," I said, trying to soothe him. He hates it when I leave him for more than a couple hours. I'll be back soon, I promise."
Sirius licked my face and gave a sad whine. Oh, God it sounded so sad. I wanted to cry and hold him forever just to let him know how much I loved him and didn't want to leave him either. But instead, I gave him a few treats to keep him busy, kissed him, and told my other babies goodbye and hurried out before they could try to hold me back. Its so hard to leave them.

"Thank you babes! I love and appreciate you! You guys were amazing tonight!" I tweeted after the show that night.
"I'm so tired," Brian said.
"Me too," I said. "But I didn't want to leave my sweet little babes, they're so cute. I can't get over them!"
Mom looked up from her phone and said, " You have an amazing connection with your fans. You mean a lot to them, you have no clue how much they adore you, I get tweets every minute on how much an inspiration you are to them. And just your friends and family, they're proud of you too."
"Oh, mom, I know! They tell me all the time, and I never get tired of hearing it! It makes me so emotional and happy to know how much they appreciate me and love me. And they have no idea how much I love them too," I said, while getting a little emotional.
I didn't end up falling asleep until about 4 in the morning, because I was so happy interacting with my fans. I love them so much, and if I could I would tell every one of them individually.
