White Dog was happy to see the sun today although I suspect that Teddy and Sierra's lovely note and the treat package which arrived from the brown truck would have offset a fair amount of cloudiness. Both White Dogs had to sniff Teddy's card and read it for themselves. I had to swim through an army of whiteness to get the box open and even longer before there was room for me to put my hand inside to extract the treat bags. As is tradition, White Dog got to choose which of the new snacks would get sampled, and Quinn had no objection to her choice of the chicken, sweet potato, and cod squares. Each sat and received two pieces then proclaimed them tasty enough to eat the entire bag (um, no!). Four eyes followed me as I closed the ziplock and set the bag aside. White Dog tapped me and indicated that she and the OTHER White Dog were ready to try the chicken minis and I tried to say no...but when Quinn put his big paw on mine and attempted to duplicate White Dog's gentle request on my shin, I caved and opened the second bag. Seeing their success, the White Dogs tried to double-team with cute and adorable to win samples from the last bag but this time I was able to keep my composure enough to insist on"Later!"
