Your Dog of the Day




Here we see Dodger. He's the youngest of our three dogs. In this picture, we find him by the front door, sulking. His Uncle Jeff (that would be our friend who dogsat for us and then stayed on for a few days after we got back from our trip) had just left.

When Jeff left, Dodger stood up on the storm door to look out. He cried as Jeff pulled away and then spent a fair amount of time by the door, waiting for him to come back. Dodger's pretty good at dealing with life's ups and downs (he lived a very hard life before he adopted us, but that's a story for another day). Even so, when he bonds to someone, he gets upset when they leave. Our daily comings and goings are reasons for joy and sadness for Mr. D. That's just the kind of guy he is, and we're lucky he chose to join our happy family.

Dodger is certainly a character, I can attest to that!

He cried when his friend left? That is so sweet!
