Dane returned from his internship in DC last week, and although I was in New York at the time I think I might have heard Coco’s reaction. Here he’s setting out their dinner on the back porch, that trick we do where they have to sniff out their food, a trick that’s supposed to help keep their brains healthy. Is it working? We’ll know when they fix me a hot dog.

The winter in DC was brutal, and Dane is so happy to be back in a climate where he can walk around without shoes again. He earned the summer that lies ahead.
