  Dad always gives Holly her daily medicines when he takes his own, but he accidentally took hers and his by mistake this morning. I plan to see if I can teach him to "Fetch!" ...years have passed but the problem continues as our brains age. The vet said, "Don't worry, Holly will be fine without her arthritis meds for a few days, and Dad will feel like a 'spring chicken.' There are photos of Holly's wild UVA Serp fraternity days. You know ... the days she was known by the "brothers" as "The Babe Magnet." Thankfully, she's outgrown those wild and crazy days (although she can still catch a mean frisbee. Her tastes in her later years lean more toward Vivaldi, but certain 90s songs still get her tail thumpin'.

  Uh oh. Holly was very bored yesterday. She played with the toys in her toy basket, and then she ate the basket.

  The Fire Escape
  by Michael Kane

  Table of Contents
  When Holly lived at the fraternity house, she socialized a lot.  But she also liked to find time alone, and this was her favorite place to do so: the fire escape. She could watch the kids going to the architecture school from her perch, and when walking across the parking lot you could often see her peering down at you.

  Holly is beautiful!  She looks like my kind of girl, one who knows her own mind.  I am certain that we will become friends.

  Holly loves toys as long as they are soft and fuzzy (preferably with a squeaker inside). She has her own toy basket and will often go over to the basket, choose a toy, then settle down to nibble at it or lick it for an hour at a time. But she's still a toddler at heart. If she's bored, she removes every toy from the basket one at a time and tosses them at you to see if she can interest you in a good game of tug-o-war. Holly's favorite toy now is the green fuzzy frog toy I bought for her. She knows that if she bites it, it will say "ribbit--ribbit--ribbit." She runs to find it every single morning as soon as Dad moves his chair away from the breakfast table. We think she has decided it's her job for theday. She shakes it as hard as she can, it says, "ribbit--ribbit," and Dad growls his fiercest growl. It's my favorite part of the day (Holly's, too).

  Tug-o-War
  by Michael Kane

  One of Holly's favorite games is tug-of-war.  The noises she makes are the best part.  Actually, the noises and the shaking-the-head thing.  She's such a chicken but she acts so tough.  It's really funny.
