Well, the Jacobs family arrived yesterday a bit later than originally planned, but in fine spirits. Randy is at his most charming. When they arrived, it was Crested puppies time out to play, and they swarmed over Randy like killer bees, so we had to put them up as that was just too overwhelming for him and despite my trimming thier nails back right before they arrived, they were still too sharp for Randy’s delicate skin.

Whippets seem to be just right for Randy, though. He started off releasing Nyssa from her crate (which she was VERY grateful for!!), then played in her crate most of the rest of the night.

Tigger would play bow and bark and Randy would crawl across the floor making his interpretation of doggie noises. Then he found the bumpy ball that’s Tigger’s and threw it for awhile. Tigger is no retriever, but would chase the ball and pounce on it much to Randy’s delight. When Tigger heard Randy’s laugh, he would abandon the ball and go straight back to Randy to kiss him.

Bruno was intriqued by the new dog who knew how to open that crate door! Randy spent hours opening and closing the crate door and peeking out at us from inside the crate.

It’s been a fun visiit. Yvonne cooked some great chili for dinner last night and we’re going out for breakfast this morning before they leave to drop Eddie at Fort Jackson for his briefing before leaving for Baharain.

Got to get in the shower and get dressed.

Love to all,

Margaret
