We’re checking in late, but there’s nothing new to report.

Rossie puts herself to bed if I am not there to tuck her in at 8 pm. She likes routine. Sapphire hangs out with Sneaky during the day. Mr. L is doing his best to earn Daisy’s affection, and she spends most of her time upstairs in his room, so he may be having some success. I’m the meanie who makes them do things they don’t like to do, and he’s the nice guy.

Ajax and Lady have been demanding of attention. Tarzan does, too. Delta, at certain times and places wants her fair share. Ruby is around. Daphne is Daphne.

Zelda is usually under the back porch or my truck. She paid a visit to our neighbors earlier in the week. She sometimes disappears for a day, but I don’t think she goes too far, and I think it’s more I don’t see her than she disappears. Walter is usually on the side porch in the morning, and as long as it’s not too late in the day, I can call him up from under the house. I’m not sure where he spends his afternoons and evenings. Everyone seems healthy and happy, and that’s what I care about most.
