Borrowed Dog

We're not getting a dog. Let me just make that clear from the get-go. But we're not above borrowing one every so often... as long as they fit into the compact category and the circumstances are right. Meet our current borrowed pooch, Peque:

Peque is our friend's baby. She brought her for a visit from California to another friend's house. There was a problem with the household doggie politics over there, though, and I couldn't resist poor little Peque's charms. She's the sweetest little thing... just doesn't play well with other dogs. I guess she never went to kindergarten. She loves people, though and is an old hand at dealing with kids. She's great for me as well, because she sleeps in the middle of our bed and willingly takes the blame for stealing all the covers from my devoted spouse. She's endlessly entertaining for the girls, and has been taken for more "walks" in the last 24 hours than probably in her whole life put together. We'll really miss her when she has to go home... but for a few days at least, we can pretend to be a doggied family.
