White Dog was excited to see my niece Christine and her kids, Tyler and Kody. Christine was one of the first people White Dog met when she came to live with us and she has a special place in her heart for the now grown mother. They stopped by to pickup Tyler's birthday gifts. White Dog thinks it is very funny that 3-year-old Tyler calls me "Soup" (instead of Sue). Their visit was cut short when the just recently potty-trained Tyler had an accident. He was very embarrassed and insisted on leaving right away. White Dog tried to reassure him that she remembered how hard the housebreaking process is but poor Tyler was tearfully shameful. She licked his face and gave him belated birthday wishes as Christine led the troop back to the car.
