I just returned home with Herman after a day-and-a-half in Charlotte. Zellouisa was home by herself for the first time in…well, probably ever. I’m grateful that she had a couple of petsitter visits. It’s been ages since I’ve heard her so vocal upon my return.

Herman, exhausted from a very active two days, hopped right up on the couch. Zellouisa just did the same. So my household is with me on the couch now. It really hasn’t hit me yet that there’s just two when there were three for nearly six years.

I’ve got plenty more to say about A later.
