Dudley is about to walk into Sally's life . . .

On 5 October 2003, Sally writes:

On Day 5 of Dudley's settling in with us he . . .

Sat in the lake.
Pulled all the plugs from the back of my computer.
Barked at Bella for not sharing a toy.
Hung on Bella's ear.
TP'd the bathroom.
Dragged the rug out of the bathroom and halfway down the stairs.
Went three rounds with a grasshopper.
Got tired on one of our walks, sat down and refused to budge.
Played with 32 different toys for 14 seconds each.
Received four "Aaaaaaaghs" for chewing on the door stops.

All of this right under my nose and betwixt/between three long naps.

Ahhhhh -- I'm in heaven!!

A year later, on 27 October 2004, Sally sends this picture:

In addition to creating & selling the wonderful calendar, NursAIREy Rhymes 2008 (benefitting Airedale Rescue), Sally makes these beautiful crate blankets (which *I* think should be hung on the wall like a quilt) . . . with Dudley's "help".
