I know this is becoming a bit of a theme here—the Kenzie/Riley love fest. But in all my years of living with animals, I’ve never seen anything like it…
I keep thinking about how lucky they are. And then I think how lucky I am to get to witness this every day.… Read More
…when, in fact, it’s been these 2 thieves who’ve been eating all the blueberries!
When we got Kenzie, it was my deepest wish that she and Riley would form a tight bond, so they could share life with another in the same umwelt. Like me saying to Andrew in wonder, “Can you believe how huge the moon is tonight?” And Andrew saying, “Yeah, pretty spectacular.”

Meet Kenzie, our new second puppy. Riley’s true love.
I always knew there’d be a 2nd puppy. If you’re a regular here, you would have bet the farm on it. I’ve written many posts about the right number of dogs and the best gender combination. So it was always just a question of when.
