DH got plenty of rest last night and was almost cheerful.  The pups behaved themselves.  It worried me. 

     Over the last two or three years, this was not normal for our house.  I’m used to DH being cranky because he’s stressed out and overtired.  I am used to the dogs pulling stunts that only a pair of Bull Terriers is capable of doing.  I am no longer used to a tranquil household.

     I wondered if perhaps, I had awakened in a parallel universe.
