The Way He Likes Things

So much of what mouse does is done is because he likes it that way and it's never worth arguing about.  

He couldn't wait to come home and that warmed mouse's heart.  When he quipped that he missed his scotch and cigars...and his chair...the one mouse can't stand because it only thing in the whole house it goes with is him -- well, we let it slide.   It's true at times mouse can imagine getting rid of that chair...Calling Goodwill to come get it.  

It's been a running joke between us for a long time now.  With him always reminding mouse to take care of his chair while he's away.  We cordon it off with museum rope to protect from kids and dogs climbing into it.  

A monument of sorts to him.  We've tried replacing that chair but he'll complain the whole time.  When the house is quiet and he just settles back all is right with his world.  Of course, he would replace it, if he felt it needed replacing and he wouldn't give a second thought to mouse's color scheme for the room either.
