Aunt Susan's Visit!
Luky's Aunt Susan stopped by today. She was in town and called to ask us to lunch.
It was wonderful to see her and we had a great visit and conversation. Luky insisted on trying a new neighborhood restaurant, and everything was fantastic until Luky requested a glass of the house chardonnay. Apparently it did not quite live up to his standards. Of course, I asked why he requested the "house" selection if he was going to employ his most demanding palate. He just looked at me as if the question made zero sense.
Aunt Susan's visit brings other things to mind. First, Luky was reminded that it's been a long time since he last saw his cousins, Spanky and Blondie (mentioned in at least one prior post - http://philosopherdog.blogspot.com/2005/09/youd-think-they-were-all-just-dogs.html). We need to pay a visit in the other direction one of these days soon.
However, when we returned to the loft I went back to work and it wasn't until several minutes later that I realized Luky was sitting in front of the mirror, a paw raised in the air, eyebrows askew, glancing side to side as if seeking his own best profile. Yes, Aunt Susan's visit also got him thinking about the approaching family holidays - which means family meals. Luky was already researching, composing and practicing his toasts!
Malamutes! You just can't imagine!
