Awoke to sunny skies this morning. Valentino and Lucia were still sleeping—Val at the foot of the second bed, Lucia in the hall on the magnetized mat, advertised as good for hips or whatever. She still seems full of vim and vinegar!

The trip downstairs didn’t take all that long. Not too much coaxing. Val bounded down and after a bit of barking, so did Lucy. We are currently holed up in my office, where Val is less likely to make too much noise. I am hoping mom slept well last night. Was worried with her report of dizziness. I gave her a cup of my soup with the antibiotic last night in the hopes that she would sleep better and might avoid a reaction. It should be taken with food, but as she eats so little at night, it’s tough. The cup of soup works well. It’s pureed and light and should not interfere with sleep. 

I have checked email. Now off to feed the pups!
