The Cure for Nightmares

People have been asking how Mom and I are getting along without Dad. We have definitely missed him, especially during our attempts to do his chores-- like taking the trash can down the hill and brushing the burrs out of Minnee's matted fur. Mom says she misses Dad the most when she's at the house by herself at night.

To compensate for Dads absence, Mom has gotten into watching TV at night. Its so cute how excited she is to discover new TV shows. When I come into work in the morning (...noon), she tells me all about the shows she watched the night before. It is very surprising that Mom has taken a liking to intense crime dramas like...

She also enjoys these "lighter" shows...

Mom says she has been sleeping better than she ever has before since starting to watch TV. I thought the dramatic shows might be too stressful for her, but she says it allows her to let go of her real-life stress and decompress before going to bed. Who knew CSI could be a cure for nightmares??
