Note from Mom: Pinot has adapted a very nice routine for her romps over the last year or so. There are two resin chairs and a side table outside the slider overlooking Pinot's garden hill and forest in the back. We have always brought her out and kept her in the yard; in the earlier years she did a bit of exploring, but not as much anymore. Her Dad will bring her out, he sits in one chair, she sits in the other and they watch the goings on together. Occasionally she'll take off after a bird, or a chipmunk, but mostly they sit and watch the sights. It's really cute - I should post a picture.

If I had to bet, the whole time she was outside, she was either sitting in the chair or possibly exploring the hill. I don't think she went far at all. If you could have seen the way she tried to sneak back in once she saw us - it was a hoot!
