I was sitting in my chair reading when Maria let the dogs in from their romping in the dog area. They both came rushing into the living room and leaped up on my lap and crawled up to my face, which they start licking and licking. An ambush, joy and slobber. I guess it is good to be loved, and dog love is pure and unencumbered. Much joy and much slobber. Gus is very affectionate and demonstrative, Fate rarely gives kisses to anybody. She had a lot for me today.

Maria was right there with her fancy new Iphone camera.
