Fate is a curious and sociable dog, she wants to be a part of everything we are doing, and wants to join in on everything happening. It is quite common, when I am taking a photo, talking to Maria, or looking out at the pasture, for Fate  to pop her head in between my knees to get the best possible view of what’s going on.

Maria and I are both used to this, but it is one of the many things about Fate that makes us smile. She isn’t just living with us, she is a part of us.
