Penny Took a Sick Day

And consequently, so did I. After a rather restless night, we moved the dogs' beds to the living room. While they snoozed, I sat on the couch in the early morning sunshine, sipping tea, reading the newspaper, and watching the entire (!) Today Show and Martha Stewart too. I thoroughly enJOYed my forced time on the couch. Around noon the dogs and I ventured outside for some fresh air and sunshine. I began to see glimpses of the old Penny returning. After eating lunch (her first real meal in 48 hours), she really began to turn around. This afternoon Miss P. stalked a brilliant red cardinal, chased a fluttering butterfly, and (much to my dismay) darted after a fuzzy honeybee.

She's definitely back!

Now the adventure begins as we endeavor to keep her exuberance to a minimum while she heals.
