White Dog had a reunion, of sorts, this evening when Daisy and Poppy came over to introduce their new human brother, Derek. She had not seen them since the beginning of October when Stephanie was still pregnant. She sniffed 3 month old Derek and declared him cute but gave him some space when he started to make baby noises. The "girls" romped around like puppies when they first arrived, rolling each other over and nuzzling, and wagging tails like crazy. The fur-girls enjoyed noshies of Dragon Snaps, an apple banana chip from Dugan's Barkery named for our very own Dragon-brat and some chicken with rice. As we caught up with Stephanie and Rob (and they met Michael) we munched along with guacamole, queso, flautas and tortilla chips. Poor Derek only had a bottle (which he seemed to like). White Dog was surprised when Daisy and Poppy handed her a gift bag filled with chicken, salmon, and cod treats...a belated Barkday Present! She immediately opened the salmon snacks and shared with her friends.
White Dog thought Max's Challenge was inspired and wonderful. We were moved by his photo shoot with his mom and the results. Here's our favorite picture of our whole family, together. From our November 2009 Recommitment Ceremony.
