    Yay, Emma! The picture of Emma waiting for a cookie from Karen gives me a huge smile - it's like she's thinking, "I know you have a cookie there and I am so beautiful that you'll just have to give it to me." What does "face shy" mean, though?

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Face shy means she's very sensitive about anyone getting near her face, or staring into her face. Butt skritches were fine, but no ear rubs yet!

    It was. And I was very well behaved, I did not squeal with delight, or hug her like I wanted to!

    Oh, she's gorgeous! And what a great job you and she both did, Karen!

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.

    Oh, I hope you and Emma have a great visit! Please give her a gentle skritch for me, if that's okay for her.

    Mayor Karen, do you know yet when you'll see Emma again? There is a couple who walks their dog on my street, and I believe the dog is either a Saint Bernard or a Bernese Mountain Dog. They walk around supper time and every time I see them, I just want to run outside and hug their beautiful big doggie! (The dog is black and brown, but the tip of his (or her?) tail looks like it's been dipped in vanilla ice cream ) When you see her again, could you please give her a gentle pet for me, if she is okay with receiving some petting. If not, that's okay too.
