White Dog kept Jim and Howard so busy today that there is little doubt that both will sleep well. She met up with the boys after she and Steve made a quick foray to the office so she was alert and pumped for the morning greetings. Then, after we humans returned from dim sum, White Dog took Howard and Jim with her to Agility Class for a workout--and to meet her friends. Since we were already in the South Valley, and Howard had yet to use his new Nikon camera in NM, White Dog took us to the cottonwood bosque along the river--for a walk and a photo op. Although shadows were getting long, we drove to the Crest to view the incredible vistas and for a brief but satisfying hike in the snow. (Howard and I kept the car warm for their return). Back home, White Dog could barely stay awake long enough to eat dinner. Now that we too have had eaten, Howard and Jim (and Steve) are in the same state.
