I realize Starla isn't nearly as self-sufficient as Midnight, but I hardly see that as a problem, considering the two of them are probably going to be practically attached at the hip. But working out in the yard is another manner – I don't know how tolerable Starla is of the heat or the baking sun for extended periods. Midnight and I have missed a day or two pulling parts out of necessity before, and playing catchup is not an enjoyable ordeal; playing hooky for Starla's sake would be rough, to say the least.
