White Dog's favorite story from Jesse's birthday party came from Jesse's best friend. She told us that when Jesse first met us that she talked constantly about "the couple with the adorable American Eskimo baby." and "What attentive black eyes and beautiful face the Eskimo baby had." and "What a lovely fitting native name they had researched and chosen." The friend heard so much about this wonderful girl that she one day begged Jesse to stop focusing on her being an "Eskimo" and to respect the child enough to use her name. It was only then that Jesse's friend became aware that this amazing baby that we had adopted , Siku Marie, the American Eskimo, was not a human infant! White Dog laughed and laughed.
