One of many things I love about this red headed sprite is her non-stop enthusiasm for life as evidenced through the constant slow, wide wagging of her tail. As her slim body powers the tail, however, the funniest relationship emerges. As the tail wags, her entire backbone resonates like an oscillating wave, the midsection undulating to the left as the tail goes to the right and vice versa.

She, too, is suffering from the winter blahs, cabin fever, whatever you wish to call it. Every evening she brings us toys, over and over again, or flops with her head in our laps looking up at us pleading for something we cannot deliver.
