Travels of the Agnew Family for 2008.01.01 to 2010.01.31

Our friends Colin and Margaret and their two dogs Splash (a miniature poodle) and Mexi (they're thinking probably a Maltese though she was sold as a miniature poodle) came for a visit. Splash and Zaph go way back .... they went to Alaska together so they are good buddies. Mexi is just over a year old and has only seen Zaph a couple of times plus she's wary of big dogs. Zaph was doing a quick tour of the block when Splash and Mexi arrived so the girls came into the house to check it out in peace. Upon his arrival back home, Zaph, sensing there was company bounded into the house and the kitchen to find the girls. Mexi let out a blood curdling scream that stopped Zaph in his tracks. Colin knowing Mexi's next move is to bite, preferably a nose scooped her up. It took about 5 minutes but Mexi finally relaxed and decided that Zaph was OK as long as he didn't get too close to Margaret. Every time Zaph tried to say hi to Margaret Mexi would bark and Zaph would back off afraid of being attacked by the vicious dog. Aside from the dog dramatics we had a very nice visit though at point I thought Colin and and Ed were about to morph into aquatic life forms --- 2 hours in the hot tub.


Splash is curled up on my lap and Mexi the "vicious" dog is snuggled beside me. It's probably good that Zaph is a lover not a fighter.
