White Dog adapted well to both Steve and I being in class all morning--she slept! Steve got home first, woke her and changed clothes. Then they came to pick me up from campus. Fortunately, we had time for a snack and brief nap before entering the social whirl of buying gifts and ending up at Christine's birthday bbq. White Dog was forced to endure the attentions of both Camryn and Tyler who wanted to pet and hug her obsessively. The boys wanted nothing to do with Tasha or Hannah, the Slusser dogs, who seemed perfectly happy being ignored. White Dog enjoyed the hamburgers, visited with all of the guests, and gave the birthday girl special wishes (and a body pillow to cradle her very pregnant tummy). Then she politely tapped my leg to let me know it was time to return home.
