The moment Michelle Obama started speaking, Carys came out of hiding. [View all]

She RACED across the room and jumped on the TV tray that's next to where I was sitting. What followed was a lovely stretch of time where she just wanted lots of attention. Then, right about the time Barack took the stage, she settled down and let me give her many more pets and scritches.

Of course, this morning she was back to hiding beneath the other chair that's in the den so that's where I served her breakfast. She's a very puzzling little girl.
