Keeping an eye on Carmen McSnorty

How cool is an ailing dog that doesn't just accept a sniveling, snorting little stranger into her house but has taken a liking to her, and is even exhibiting protectiveness? Very.

Perhaps another snorynight in store for me and the little creature who, when sleeping, resembles a large, velvety caterpillar with a black face. At least her eyeballs have a good chance of remaining in her head when her eyelids are shut.

There is no other place to be today than inside-it is unpleasantly tropical out there.
