William substitute?

For a month I was in Nashville sitting William whenever Helen needed time for her studies. Did Sarah think that there was a void now which needed filling? She and Wade went to the annual Waller/Stephens beach week and asked whether we could help with the animals.

We could help with one of those big dogs.

Schatzi likes to cuddle whenever she gets a chance. This is the first morning.

Early cup of tea in bed ... with Schatzi.

And the daily visit to give Edy (needy Edy!) some loving so she doesn't get psycho.  She is always happy to see me and purrrs so loudly that it can be heard across country when I am making a phone call while petting her.

Close-up. Isn't she cute?


But substitute for William?
