We had a big weekend as yesterday Yumiko stopped by with Kei. She was fresh from the vet to have her staples removed. Allie and all the other children were very excited to have both Yumiko and Kei come by.  Kei came in with many new smells about her and one less leg - something the other dogs were very interested in.  Everyone said hello and found a bed to settle in on.

Today was another big day for Miss Allie. She joined me and my Buttercup to go for an early morning long walk in the suburbs with our friends Michael and Joyce Altman along with their 3 greyhound children. We took an hour long walk through the arboretum where Allie was able to practice her leash skills while seeing, smelling and hearing many new things.  She did great! Afterwards we went back to Michael and Joyce's for a human breakfast and treats and naps for the children.
