Lucy's life

We received the following email from Lucy this morning. She apparently dictated her thoughts to Janice, who is hanging out with her over this long weekend.

Dear Ellen and Chad,
 
I just wanted to say thanks for going out of town!  What a surprise that Janice came to pick me up yesterday after spending a day by myself.  Woo hoo!  We had SO much fun last night! We went on a walk, played fetch, ate dinner and then I found a brand new tennis ball in her purse which I helped myself to.  After that I was so excited I couldn't contain myself anymore so I had to do a few shuttle runs.  But then I got thirsty and drank a bunch of water so then I had to pee 4 times within an hour.  Phew...
 
When she said 'time for bed' around 11 I knew she was just kidding. So I decided to sit by her bed and let her know I was still awake...playing her game.  It was really fun.  After that I had a GREAT nights sleep and woke up this morning at 4:00am refreshed and ready to go! Janice apparently didn't hear me get up, even though I vocally let her know I was awake, but she did around 5:30 and then we went for a 45 minute walk and played fetch AGAIN!  Wow....so great. And then I had breakfast and played with my tennis ball while she got ready for the day.
 
So now I am just hangin around the house while Janice is at this thing called 'work'.  Rumor has it, though, that Nick is going to stop by and play with me. Oooh boy I am so excited! 
 
I'm having a great time here so don't hurry home.  Anyway, I need to go.  I'm going to go sit by the window to watch for Nick to come.
 
love, lucy

Glad Lucy isn't depressed but I think you sister Janice might be. What a great opportunity for them to bond. Very nice of you ET
