Rub My Tummy...

It has been 23 days since Faith joined the family. Tonight I was reminded that bonds take time to evolve.

This evening, as Faith and I were watching television, Faith turned herself belly-up for a tummy rub. And I realized that while she has solicited many kinds of scritchels, this is the first time that she has rolled on her back, stuck all four paws in the air, and said "scratch me". It's been coming, but today was the day.

And you know, after 20 years of living with dogs, it's still kind of nice the first time your dog says "Hey, you're pretty OK."
