the oldest little sister and the youngest little cocker spaniel came to visit us a few days earlier this week. that was nice. i wish they could live a little closer. the pup liked having a baby around to play with, and eventually even decided it was ok to have him in the house. he even came with us for a walk with the racing girls, and invented a new technique to walk down snowy hills. the girls thought he was scary though, and didn't want to let him come too close :)
