Our Sunny Spot


We have a new family member - well, she is a temporary family, but we are finding that we adore her a great deal. Sunny. Her mom is a friend of SuperStar's. They were in class together. Sunny's mom, AB, has moved with her family for a short while. Her dad took a job in FL and the whole crew decided to move until August to be there to support him.

So far Jakey and Sunny get along smashingly. The only disagreement they seem to have is when to go out. Jake very much wants Sunny to go outside when he does and play. Prior to living with us Sunny spent most of her time running 10 acres. Here she has less space, but can spend time in the house more. At this point she often looks like she thinks Jake is crazy for not wanting to lounge around on the carpet. However, she is a good sport and much of the day they spend jumping around and pestering one another in the back yard.

The only real challenge Sunny has had is the counters. To her the counters appear to be a place that we place food to see if she can figure out how to get it. She has eaten Spidey's leftover stir fry (I don't think he cared), some chips that SuperStar had saved, we find her licking the dishes in the sink (perhaps she is just helping out with the chores) and her big "get" was eating my birthday cake. She didn't eat it all, she was polite enough to leave some for the rest of us.
