Love the poem, it fits perfectly with "A real sleep, a true sleep, will be quite restorative for your system." as in, true sleep can free one's mind, too! I love that Charlotte chose Charlotte as her name. There's a bit of tenderness in that. 😊

Thank you so much, Mary. We can all benefit from sleeping well.:) I really appreciate your input on the chosen name of Charlotte. She seems to be striking a very good chord.🐾🐾

I'm finding it very touching hearing the names they choose for themselves, even if this is a work of fiction. Thanks, Heidi and critters, and I hope you all have a good week ahead. I look forward to the next chapter.

Thank you so much, Diana. That's a very meaningful response to the writing and much appreciated. We're having a heatwave here, but a cool down and maybe even rain is on the way. How are you doing in the mountains? Take good care!

I like the "paws up signal!" writing, haha. The habits and body movements written from the critters' point of view always makes me smile. I am looking forward to chapter 11, Heidi!

Thank you, Neil! That is great feedback. I've tried to develop a lingo and body language that helps characterize the series. Super fun. And thank you as always and furever for staying tuned!

So pleased Charlotte has been de-programmed and has found her friend! The haiku at the end is my favourite so far, as I love sleeping!
