Babysitting for Nova – poor little bean has got a summertime cold.  Ken and Karen hesitated to go out because they knew she had a bit of a fever, and I was really glad they trusted me to look after her for the afternoon.  She’s usually full of bounce and roar -  but she spent the whole afternoon just snuggled up in my lap.  She slept a long time, too.

I have to admit, I LOVE the snuggle time.  But I want our little lion-girl back in pouncing action!
