Lis and Troy's wedding was a lovely affair. Congratulations to two of my favorite people, best wishes for a long and happy life together. We had a great time, got to see some people we hadn't seen in a while, swim in the hotel pool, and generally unwind after a harder than average work week. They're going on a honeymoon in Hawaii planned for them by her parents. And when I say planned for them, I mean they don't know what's planned for them. It should be splendid. Here's a cute, if blurry, photo of the happy couple, and a young boy that worships Troy.
Even more amazing than the wedding (which we expected, fun though it was) was the discovery we made when we got back to town. Our fiendish dog had been sociable with other dogs during her stay at the kennel. Apparently she was able to be around other dogs of both sexes, of varying sizes, and didn't cause any fights, slink off frightened, or do anything weird. Apparently this kennel business may actually be good for the dog. We were very pleased to find that out.
This isn't the first time. When Carly was staying with her "grandparents" in Michigan during our honeymoon, she was shooed off to bed by a dog one third her size, and was generally fairly well-behaved around this other dog. At this point, I'm wondering if Carly's issues have to do with protecting us. I've had a couple run-ins with other dogs recently while on walks with Carly, wherein I had to keep them away from her for fear of a fight breaking out, and I hope that has gone a little way toward showing the dog that it is not us, the hu-mans, who need protection.
Regardless, we're feeling much better about leaving Carly at the kennel when we're out of town.
