White Dog received a special package today. It sat tormenting us (White Dog sniffed it, tapped it, pushed it with her nose, and kept it under constant watch) until Steve came home for lunch and we all opened it together. It was from Isis and her Sister! It is a gift box from the raffle.

The box was filled with wonderful toys that drove Siku to near ecstasy...she is in love with lamby and has carried the blue plush everywhere (even out to potty) since we opened the box. White Dog was so excited when we opened the box that was "hers" --we let her choose only one toy from the group (we are going to stretch out the excitement for her--one new toy every two days) and she immediately picked lamby and it has been her constant companion since...she slept with it; she took it the car this morning but Steve made her leave it there while they played at the Park; she set it next to her while she ate kibble...and she is constantly asking to have it thrown so that she can "get it" and shake the little thing in her victory dance.

We thank Isis and Sister (and the kitties) for sending us such fantastic gifts; we are enjoying lamby and regularly check the other toys in the box trying to decide which on to pick tomorrow (and to make sure no one else has played with them!). Their kindness and generous spirit are truly appreciated.
