Look who's come to visit:

Butters

Her people left about 3 minutes before I snapped this photo, which explains her anxiety. This soon gave way to annoyance when Cassie started squeaking a toy right in her ear:

Butters and Cassie

Butters will be here for a few days. Unfortunately, given her abandonment issues and extraordinary lung capacity, I can't leave her alone at all. This means Butters will get a lot of walks with Cassie so I can maintain my step count.

One more photo from today. A warm front pushed through this morning, causing an unusual roll cloud:

Roll cloud over Lake Michigan

We expect thunderstorms tonight, which I hope will give me some cool lightning strikes over the lake, but which I fear will send Butters over the edge. Fortunately her folks left me with some CBD treats. I hope (a) Butters doesn't become her usual hide-under-the-furniture self when the storms hit, and (b) the CBD treats work if she does. Should be an exciting evening! (For the record, Cassie doesn't care much about thunderstorms as long as she's not getting soaked.)
