My aunt came by our house tonight. She comes by frequently since we only live a few houses away from her apartment. She has this relationship with our dog Sam. Actually she would spoil Sam to death if we didn’t fairly strictly enforce the “no treats” rule. She used to bring along some scraps every time she came. And almost every evening or day after her visits Sam would have a little problem. Sam seems to have a delicate enough stomach to not tolerate treats. And the kids would end up having to clean up some little deposits in the basement. So we had to get strict about the no treats or I’m afraid it soon would have been no Sam.
Tonight Sam and my aunt went for one of their walks. Sam walks ahead pulling my 80+ year old aunt behind. And they love each other. I think Sam gets more excited about the walks than my aunt but it is a close one to call. I was worried about them managing OK on the street which is still a bit icy but they went and came back just fine.
