Sure, she's got issues. Who doesn't? We're working on them. But she's got her forever home now and she knows it!

Paying close attention to Sally, or "Still Life with Mushrooms"

As further proof of how innocent she can look, Daisy was being really good before her recent misadventure with the geese. Who would have thought that the next minute, she might be airborne, bolting after the scent of strange animals somewhere up the old road? To Daisy, the lure of alien animal scents is overwhelming. Of course, you can easily see why we were distracted -- check out the size of those Agaricus liliceps (or maybe mutant milk caps, how would I know?). The fake-looking red one with the white polkadots back under the trees is, in fact, Amanita muscaria. Or, as I like to call it, Psychedelic Cartoon 'Shroom.
