Dear George,
Baxter came for a visit when Jennifer and her family took a holiday trip to New Mexico. Katja, still grieving the loss of our sheepdogs, was wary about having a new dog in the house, but Baxter's smile won her over in a minute.
I took a lot more healthy walks than I normally do. Baxter's not that large but he has the strength of a dynamo.
Baxter hung around with us in the house. Here he is napping while I fiddle with the computer.
He did remind us when mealtime was approaching.
Actually Baxter was most interested in human food. (He gobbled up a bowl of milk chocolates and stole a quarter pound of turkey off the plate while I was eating.)
Baxter also spent a lot of time staring at doors or walls. His family speculates that he is standing guard.
Here he watches Katja blow-dry her hair.
Or joins Katja to watch Jeopardy on TV.
Not interested in the Bengals-Steelers game though. Just as well.
Baxter gives a big yawn.
He has a very comfortable bed.
However, he begged to get into bed with the humans.
Very hard to resist such a plea.
Baxter is happy when his dream comes true .
Baxter's family returned last night and he went home. We do miss him. But perhaps he will come to visit again in the New Year. That's a good New Year's wish.
Love,
Dave
