Joyce drove down to Chattanooga to bring Marcia to the airport.  It turned out that getting from Colorado Springs to Knoxville the least expensive way involved arriving and departing from Chattanooga.  So after getting her to the airport, Joyce came over to Emily's for dinner and the evening.

Emilly made dinner for Alan, Lynn, and Joyce.  Alan's Mom, Mommy Anne took a nasty fall today and he was in the ER and then with her when they went to the rehab.  So he wasn't able to come for dinner.  Mommy Anne will be OK, but she's got a broken arm, a bad skin tear near her right eye, a fracture in the bone around her eye, and some awful bad bruising. 

Hershey is back from the dog sitters, and she and Emily are really having fun.  She spends lots of time in the back yard.  Emily has erected a baby gate at the stairs coming up from the back yard onto the back deck. This keeps her from getting under Emily's feet when she's trying to get into the house. 

When she's in the house for the time being, Emily has her stay in her cage. She's making it all the way through the night without going to the bathroom, and wakes Emily at about 6 AM to let her know that she needs to go outside to do her business.  Tonight Lynn brought her some rawhide chewies and she was really enjoying them!
