Daphne without Daisy

I'm beginning to see a little winsomeness in Sweet Daphne. I think she's bored, lonely, and all around missing that crazy bigger-by-the-day Boxer/Pitt known as Daisy. We've been lavishing attention on Daphne but I still catch her pacing the house with a toy in her mouth, looking for someone - anyone - to try to steal it from her. She sits on the deck, half enjoying the warm calm half waiting for a bundle of energy to come trample her.
