Sure is Quiet Around Here

[madrobins]

You know, even when she's sleeping, Emily classes up the place. The three of us (the Spouse, Avocado, and I) have been moping about noting that the house is unnaturally quiet. Also there's less enthusiasm and amusement value. Pickup time is 3 this afternoon, and we will have our repaired, but very subdued, hound at home again.
