Canine Encounters Along the Way

Coco and Lily did sit on my lap while I was in Hilton Head, but that moment wasn't captured on film. They're more frequently seen on Gerry's lap.

Murphy's buddy Zeke kept me company while I knit.

In Charlston, Murphy boy got very comfy on my shoulder.

I know it looks like I'm riding the Park-Pearson pooch during my visit in Washington DC, but I was really just trying to get him to pose with me.

Rita and Bill's dog Rozzy takes a shine to me and likes to hang out on the rug next to my desk ... well, Bridget's desk.

I decide to up my game and take on 3 at a time. It may look like I'm moonlighting as a dog trainer, but I'm really just bribing them with treats for a photo op. Rozzy is joined by Billie on the left and Barley in front.

And who should be waiting for me when I got back home but Oscar, the weiner dog (well, partly weiner anyway) who was delighted to receive my gift of the baby lamb, especially since he'd already dismembered three smaller lambs.
