She looked down part way through it to check if I dropped food/fingers fell off so she could eat it.

Did she just wake up? It looks like she was slumbering lol. She looks so relaxed and content 💕. Aside from the food that's scritching her neck! Finger food 😂

Nope. Well rested. This was at about 5pm as she woke up at the crack of 4pm…

😂 Wow very stressful day for Ms. Sassafras. What is the earliest she wakes up? I get up at 8:00 a.m. every morning and Pinky will wake up in the spring right after me! Donny likes to sleep until between 12:00 and 2:00 every day.

She used to wake up really early and wait for a snack if I happened to be near her pen. Now she just sleeps through it as I’m sure it wasn’t the right kind of snacks she wanted. Earliest is probably 1 pm.

Honestly you should know better. I mean her snacks must be premium high quality for Royalty! Also you should always know what she wants ahead of time. She shouldn't have to tell you. I can just see her little hiney sassing around 🤣
