Something That Made Me Happy: I was sitting on the balcony for a few minutes with the pets, and there was a puppy down on one of the porches below. Memphis was relaxed until he saw the puppy, and then I watched his tail which was hanging down sort of straight, move up and up until it was curled right over his back, practically touching it as he waved it at the pup. I was particularly struck, for some reason, how valuable it is day to day that I have this guy who compels me to do things with him and to try to make those things fun and interesting. Sometimes acting upbeat actually helps you feel more like it. If he were more of a couch potato and less of an impish toot, it wouldn't be quite the same.
Of course, he's good at napping too. Thank goodness. :)
