Gracie & Charlie are loving the day. It's a bit too hot for them to just hang outside, but they love going out and running around then coming in to cool off in the a/c. Gracie is hungry and happy and Charlie is having fun playing with her.  I'm not sure if I just notice it more or if it is in fact part of what she's going through, but Gracie sleeps a lot between her bursts of energy.  I guess the good thing is that it gives her body a chance to recharge its batteries and when she's awake she's happy and energetic. It could be the heat too....it's something like 95 outside and sunny. Carol and Jake are here doing some work on the house so Charlie and Gracie are enjoying the extra attention and keep going to check up on their progress.  It's funny because every once and a while Gracie will just start "talking" to Carol and Jake....Gracie does like to carry on a conversation.  Charlie's just happy there are squirrels to chase along the side of the fence.
