Size is relative

And you thought I was big. This weekend Tim and Beth are visiting us from Duluth. This time they brought their dog, Woolie. She is a Newfoundland, which means she's the about the size of a polar bear. When she sits down, she takes up the entire floor!

After some intial barking and circling and sniffing each other's rears, we are beginning to get along. Jesse and Laura say I shouldn't provoke her with my antics because she's not a puppy anymore. Woolie has a very wet mouth, and she drools more when she gets excited. My fur feels fabulous right now with her slobber.

We were supposed to show Woolie the Minnehaha dog park this afternoon, but it's been raining and snowing all day. Hopefully she'll come back soon so we can romp around on the beach together.
