Sunny's Monkey

This is another old story, out of sequence. It is from an email to friends, dated September 13th.

For your viewing pleasure...

I decided this week that a special toy might make Sunny's life a little better as he finishes his convalescence.

While I was busy surveying all the toys on the wall to find one that wouldn't excite him too much (he'd already had to give up a brand new kong and giant tennis ball because he got too excited), he picked the monkey out of the toy bin on the floor, at doggy eye level. He proudly carried his new monkey across the parking lot to the car, and again from the car into the house.

As you can see, Sunny loves his new monkey very much. He doesn't carry him around all day (although he does follow me from room to room). At night after he realizes that we are settling down in the bedroom, he runs back out to get his monkey and uses him like a pillow.

His arm is wrapped around the monkey,

who is whispering in Sunny's ear.
