Meet Dexter!

Dexter came on Monday to spend the holidays with us. He's Dwayne and Shelley's bearded collie and we love him! He's the breed of dog we would like. One of the breeds we like, anyway.

He had a cute little top knot in his hair when he arrived but that didn't last long. He stuck his nose in some weeds and came out with a bunch of burrs stuck in the fur around his face so Kevin spent some time pulling them out. He crushed each burr with pliers first and then they slipped out relatively easily.

Dexter helped Kevin with the Christmas tree lights and then made himself at home on our bed. If I get up in the night to use the bathroom, when I come back Dexter has taken my place. I snuggle in beside him and in a while he moves to the bottom of the bed. He's much more attached to Kevin than me.

Hannah took him for a big walk and play at the park today.
