Today Miss Lilly made a startling discovery. On her way back across the puppy room after a trip to her papers she noticed that something was following her! Being the very brave girl that she is, Lilly wasn't so much frightened as curious.
She walked around and around speeding up, slowing and standing still until she was sure that thing wasn't in her imagination and then she made her move. With no prior warning at all, she lunged forward and tried to eat her own shadow. There was much licking and snuffling and even a few attempts to scrape it up off the floor with her sharp little teeth but to no avail.
In the end, she gave up on catching her new friend and went back to her favorite chew toy. There's always tomorrow!
Of course as a witness to these goings on I wanted nothing more than to catch her on film or tape to share the moment with friends but my 4 nights of puppy compromised sleep caught up with me. Unable to even remember where my camera was, I just sat and watched. . .
