White Dog's agility class was a love fest of happy friendly dogs; encouraging supportive owners; and warm sunny weather. The hour was successful and pleasurable. We raced from class to Tyler's Second Birthday Party across town. The party was genuinely a Tyler love fest but it was fraught with weird personality undercurrents, strange subplots, but (fortunately) the same warm sunny weather. The Slussers seem to attract over-the-top drama. Christine's friends are totally disconnected from the world we live in. Tyler's grandfather braved entering "enemy camp" (applause for him) to be subjected to Tyler's stepdad's childish snideness (boo hiss). White Dog missed visiting with Tasha and Hannah who were forced to remain outside the party bounds. Tyler was a little over exuberant toward White Dog as he chased her and petted by hitting. Like us, White Dog took a giant gulp of fresh air when we finally escaped.
