Reunion with White Dog drives us to get home quickly. She met us at the door when we arrived at 1 am and for the next hour it was fur, kisses, and welcoming excitement. Steve even took her for a neighborhood walk at that hour! It felt special and marvelous to all be together again.

During our brief sleep, White Dog had a nightmare which caused her to howl out in pain. On our bed, enclosed by the quotation marks of our legs she returned to sleep, we all did...feeling secure in our togetherness.

It was a delight to start the day with our usual routines; routines for 10 days interrupted. It is good to be home!
