White Dog could not be left behind on Christmas Day so she joined Adam, Mary, Steve and I on our trip to Acoma to share in the Native celebration there. Before going up on the mesa, which required White Dog to wait in the car, we stopped at a grazing area so she could run off-leash, chase thrown sticks, and play in the snow. Our hope was after such intense play, White Dog would nap while we attended the dances. She did. She also slept the whole ride home cradled against me in her soft loving way.
