 White Dog came through the dog door and walked past Zsofia's sleeping crate which everyone "borrows" during the day. She paused at my leg and whispered, "Don't turn your head or notice because it will spoil the moment but you won't believe what Roman is doing."

Now that could have been a fright or a wonder but I could hear the noises...the crinkling and smooshing. I messaged Steve: Come in with camera ready and photograph Roman. It is a special moment. I took no notice and kept working.

Even at that I was not sure that Roman would not look up hearing the motion or stop his concentrated play before the shot could capture the moment, but Steve managed to fire off two clicks before everyone else crowded in to see.

Roman was playing. He was totally focused on the fun of making the unstuffie crinkle as he twisted it and turned it over and grabbed at it with paws and teeth. He was playing! Something Roman seldom lets down his guard enough to do. It was a moment of puppy joy.
