White Dog returns, fighting the post-surgical collar and demanding dignity. Once freed she becomes timid, dashing my hope for intense cuddling. She briefly allows my fingers to gently stroke her shaved belly and trace over the line of stitches.
We share a "welcome home" meal (even Steve feeds her bits of falafel from his plate). The long afternoon White Dog spends under the chair alternating between sleep and silent observation.
