I spent the week tending my daughter's family dog.  His name is Yankee.  I loved my constant companion for about 10 days.  It was great.  I had someone to talk to every day.  I loved waking up to a dog at the  foot of my bed.  I loved someone to watch TV with.  I loved taking him on walks to Cascade School and Harmons twice.  I loved warming my feet on him.  I hated that we had to shovel dog do do.  I hated that he chewed up every ball in our backyard,  I hope I will get to tend him again.
