Penny was so adorable while she was waking up from her nap this morning.
She was stretching and yawing while making the cutest wake-up sounds. Little Penny... we love you so much!! As always, she was super good for Linda while Sarah had an appointment. Sleeping, eating, playing and smiling.
In other exciting news, when Linda got home from spending the morning with Penny & Sarah, she let Chim in the house. Since it was so cool, she had left him out in the yard. The second she bent down to pet him, she shoved his smelly-self right back outside. He smelled horrible, like he was rolling in dead animal or something. She couldn't leave him out there forever, so she put her big girl pants on and gave him a bath. Yep, a bath. Those of you who know Chim and his scardey-cat ways are probably thinking she is crazy for attempting to give him a bath by herself. He screams and shakes with fear when she takes his collar on and off; when a plastic bag blows across the sidewalk, when you go near him with a brush, when a kid rides by on a bicycle on the other side of the street, the sound of stroller wheels, and the list goes on and on. Linda picked him up, put him in the bathtub and turned the water on... just waiting for the meltdown to happen. Nothing. Zippo. He just stood there while the tub filled up. No shaking, crying, whining or trying to get out. She soaped him up and used the shower head to rinse him off. (He acted exactly like Snickers. When it was time for his bath, Linda would tell Snicks to go get in the tub and wait for her.) When it was time to come out, she wrapped him in a towel and put him on the deck to dry off. She made sure she shut the gate because she still needs to go and walk-the-grid to see if there is a dead animal. There are no photos because she didn't have any hands free. At least he didn't have to get a bandanna and matching bows in his ears like I do after a bath.
