Puppy Love

We visited Cimarron and Dodge City about a week ago and met my new nephew, Finn Martinez! He's a cutie and a very happy baby! We were lucky to be present for his baptism as well. Mike and Annie treated everyone to a fun BBQ in their backyard after baptism on Saturday evening. Avery is in love with Boscoe, their golden retriever. She followed him around all day on Friday and Saturday evening. Late Saturday as the BBQ was wrapping up, Avery watched Boscoe drink water from a big galvanized tub that was holding cold drinks. The ice had melted into water and Boscoe was thirsty. Avery walked up to him really slowly as he was drinking, studying him closely. Then she leaned down next to him to get a closer look. When Boscoe walked away, she helped herself to a little sip too! She would stick her tongue out and touch it to the water, just like the puppy dog. It was precious.
