Day 2

We have talked about a theoretical second dog. Emma would love to have another dog to play with, at least while we are at work. She would have some adjustment to do though - she's got a moderate case of only-dogness at night.

There are a bunch of graduate students that own dogs, among them are a few of our good friends, A and N. So we offered to keep their dog K, a decent sized black lab/collie mix while they went out of town for a few weeks. We have kept K before, and besides a few "girl dog" moments (on both sides - food and rawhide make them territorial), they are a very good duo. Emma plays the bratty little sister while K tolerates her and generally tries to avoid being jumped on.

It's amazing what a stark contrast in personalities they are, though. Today's happy thought is a picture that captures their adorable relationship. :-)
