Winter has been here for a while. It seems to snow every week, then warm up and the snow melts. I love going out in the yard on the warm days. Lately one of my people has been staying home more. The people talk using words like 'unemployment' and 'the economy'. I like having her stay home. She keeps me company and lets me go out during the day. I have to stay inside when nobody is home. But she seems unhappy and worried. Something about 'money'. Not sure what that is, but it seems important to her.
