This is only minimally cropped and wasn’t taken in closeup view: Queenie really was in my face (literally) last night demanding constant attention. After she finished with me, she started pestering Tim. Later, she was standing next to my side of the sofa, and Tim said, “Your iPad is in the way.” Not really thinking about the significance of that, I moved it, and Queenie proceeded to jump on the sofa and lie down between us. She’s awfully large and managed to take up more than half of it, but at least *she* was comfortable!

I realize I’ve gotten a bit carried away with dog pictures this week, but it’s so nice to have a furry friend in our home again, after a year with none, and especially one that not only isn’t afraid of cameras but seems to love them!
