[nagdu] Dog food

Mon Feb 13 01:57:17 UTC 2012

I have a crate for Lexia, but I don't usually use it unless I am worried 
about her vomiting. If I am going to leave the room for a long time, I will 
put her in it, but I do not at night. At night, she does not do anything but 
sleep. If I stay up too late, she looks at me like, "Mommy, go to bed. I'm 
tired."
