The sun room

One of the nicest rooms in our house is the sun room. We've set it up with nice cane chairs, plants and a pile of magazines to read. It's a completely different vibe in there, kind of like going on holiday, but throughout summer it's usually a bit hot and stuffy. Now that the weather is cooling down, the sun room is really coming into its own again. And if you're wondering where Tess is at any point in the day, it's a pretty safe bet you'll find her lurking in there, up to no good with leopard and her band of imaginary friends.

She shifts around according to the position of the sun. For the first half of the day, she loves it on the couch. You can sit in the other chair in the shade with no hassles - apart from a constant pleading stare laserbeam coming your way if you happen to be eating food.

This morning I had my breakfast in there before commencing staring at my computer and tapping out word magic. It was a bit early to catch rays on the couch so Tess had to improvise.

As the day progresses, Tess shifts to the warm embrace of the single chair. You'll find her there until it's time for a walk, I start cooking dinner or the sun goes down - whichever comes first. She really knows how to live, that dog.
