Fred and Scooter were having one of their outside visits yesterday since it was such a nice day. I was sitting on the porch watching them, and a little white head popped out the door. Pearl came out and rolled around on the porch, sunning her tummy. She has only ventured outside once in her life, when she was very small. She decided she did not like it and sat down and cried until I came and rescued her. Some people walked by and scared her back in, but she came back out after they were gone. She stayed on the porch for quite awhile, and came right in with me when I called them in for dinner. I never thought I would see that. Then later when I was laying on the couch watching tv, she came and laid on me for about 2 hours. I finally had to get up, as much as I hated to. She has never done that in her nearly 5 years. I am just pleased beyond belief!
