Sunny introduced herself and came to live with us in 2000. While only 15, she already excels in team spirit, smooth talkin', and general manipulation.

She's not a fan of poetry but is learning to boogie from her older bro, Flax. She is a strict vegetarian, unlike the Flax Man who attacked a cooked turkey once. With unbefore seen excitement. He's since turned vegan, by Evil Parent Mandate.

The best thing about Sunny? She wakes up every morning like a kid on Christmas. I can often hear her bouncing up and down, excited to start her day far before I can share her cheery disposition.

If you ever get a chance to meet a Sun-a-like, watch your coffee and tea. These little ones also can be found heading into the pantry to unearth some long forgotten package of Hot Tamales or the occasional Easter Peep.
