White Dog, The Other White Dog, Another White Dog, Still Another White Dog, and Yet Another White Dog want to give special thanks to our wonderful photographer friend, Lisa, mommeh over At The World of Hansel, for our spiffy new header. The photos of White Dog and Quinn are the result of her visit last year to Albuquerque; when the WDA was merely a duo. We send a million White Dog Army kisses and are very grateful for our new look. Stop by and leave wishes of good luck and welcome. Her baby, Ava, is imminently scheduled to arrive.

Our heat wave continues and even at 9 am this morning the temperatures were pushing 90 degrees...too hot for fun at the Park. Instead, we cocooned indoors in shaded rooms with cooling air flowing and ceiling fans whirling like a scene from Casablanca! We drank lots of ginger water. The pups enjoyed pumpkin popsicles. The WDA actually sat still and savored long, fur removing brushing; then tuned to expose bellies to the breeze as we de-shedded them. Everyone piled into the car for a ride with fully cranked air conditioning to run a few errands but mostly to just have an opportunity for a chill few moments. We all gathered at the refrigerator door to decide what was for lunch (cold chicken slices, olives, goat cheese and chewy baguette rounds. Some of us were VERY reluctant to take our heads our of the cooling box. We all napped.

It was not our most exciting Sunday ever, but we were together, and that made the day special. We hope you had as relaxing and contented a day.
