This morning started off with a new visit from Jasper and his parents, Nancy and Jeremy, who are the family-to-be of one of Canon's sisters.The poodles spent a lot of time barking at each other. It seemed that each wanted to be the chase-ee in a game of chase, and were constantly calling out to each other, "Chase me. Chase me." It was great to see Caprice crouching in an invitation to play again after all these months, and to see both dogs streaking across the backyard. The play date was a success.
Jasper lost a black poodle sister named Lily a little while back, and, according to Nancy, has been mourning his loss. I never thought of Caprice as mourning, but she was clearly rejuvenated by this visit. This brown boy looks a lot like Rondo, especially in this photo, with him "smiling" with his tongue hanging out, as Rondo's was in some pictures.
Besides enjoying the dogs' joy, it was a pleasure to meet Nancy and Jeremy and share common interests. Hopefully our sibling pups and older "children" will be able to see each other from time to time. Let the poodle games begin!
