The dog and his friend.

10/365

A friend gave my Clevelander student (who's staying at the house now because we're still on break) these sock monkey slippers, and by the time I returned to the village, the dog had made friends with them.  Whether she has them on her feet or has just left them on the floor, when the dog enters a room where the slippers are, he will do them some small homage or pay them a little greeting, often just by licking their faces once.  Occasionally, he'll gently pick one up and carry it a short distance, with no apparent intent to maul it.
