Spyro's Big Adventure

 I have mostly just been relaxing.  It's gotten hot again.  I do play with Spyro and look out the windows quite a bit.

 Spyro:  The day before yesterday Mom went out shopping for our food and came back with this.  That first day she just put it out on the floor and let me sniff it.  I didn't find it very interesting.  Yesterday she tried to put it on me, but I wasn't having any of it.  Today I let her put in on me and just relaxed once it was on.  Then Mom showed me what it is for:

 Looky!  I'm OUTSIDE!  I got to sniff the bushes and vines and chew on the grass!  I got to chase bugs!  I got to hide under a bush and watch woofies go by!  I got to roll on the concrete!  I got to roll and dig in the dirt!  Sometimes I snuck along on my belly, but sometimes I walked normally.  I even jumped at a bug.  This is my best present ever!  When Mom brought me back inside, I ran around like crazy, then cried and cried at the screen door to go out again.  Mom says I can go out every day.  I'm so excited!

Oja:  This is a terrible picture of me.  You can hardly see me next to the black box.

Karen Jo:  I had to use this old, rejected, picture because you haven't been cooperating.  You won't let me take your picture.  You won't take your Interferon.  It's been three weeks and you don't show many signs of ever wanting to come out of your room, though that doesn't really matter.  You can stay in there as long as you like.

Oja:  I let that Spyro explore my room without hissing at him.

Karen Jo:  That's true.  Spyro sniffed all over your room and you just stayed up on the bookcase and watched him.  I'm not trying to push you out of your room, but I think you would have more fun with the whole house to explore.  You haven't even been playing with your fish lately.

Oja:  I haven't felt like playing.  It's been awful hot.

Karen Jo:  You don't get much air circulation with the door closed.  I'll leave it open more, unless you object.
