White Dog and I were very excited when FedEx delivered our birthday gift to Steve. She actually frightened the courier who kept a respectful distance and constant watch under her loud assault as I signed and accepted the package. White Dog and I are terrible at keeping secrets so when Steve came home we asked if we were celebrating his birthday month or just his day (the 16th). He answered "month" as we hoped and we gave him the box to open as birthday present #1 to open. White Dog stood in his lap and peered inside the box as Steve excitedly discovered the iPOD he had wished for.
