Second day of the New Year

A new year, a new decade. Shannon awoke to the second day of 2010 much the same as usual. Kiwi chirped quietly inside her towel-shrouded cage. Cindy lay stretched out in the back portion of her pen, with her legs extended behind her.

Eager to spend as much time with the little green creature as possible before she returns to Anna's loving care, Shannon hurried through her Cindy-related chores, and then removed Kiwi from her cage. Kiwi spent most of the morning burrowed in Shannon's shirt, nibbling holes from the inside out. Kiwi has discovered that this is her favorite place, especially when Shannon is lying on the couch reading a book. She will nestle herself on Shannon's left side - closest to the couch - and near her waist. There, in a sort of pouch the she creates for herself, Kiwi will hang out for almost an hour at a time.
