School of the Hard Knox

All is still well and I will make this a quick update given the long list of things I need to get done today.  Many of you may have already seen this video since it was posted on Facebook, but here it is again. It melts my heart to see this youthful, playful side of a dog that has undoubtedly been through a lot over the past week.  After this, she enjoyed romping around with my neighbor's Bassett hound.  She liked running around but was clearly intent on befriending my neighbor.  She likes dogs, but she LOVES people.

Sweetie and Kitty had their first up-close interaction and I could have scripted it play by play. They were both in the (tiny) kitchen as I was getting dinner ready for both of them.  Kitty got bold and decided to rub against Sweetie.  As Sweetie was not expecting it, she jumped a tiny bit, to which Kitty hissed and ran away.   However, Kitty is increasingly interested and is currently closely watching (from about 3 feet away) Sweetie snooze in her chair.  I think they'll be good friends in a week or so.

And reason #9 why senior dogs rock:

Only senior dogs have grills THAT sweet.  If she gets a dental, I'm going to request a metal grill that says "Hard Knox" (since she came from Knox County). :-p
