Have I mentioned I love dogs?


 This is Amy and she is a member of the Cordon family.  She is a Saint Charles Cavalier. My son Ben has one as well.  She was Anadel's only in house playmate for a long time until Anadel got siblings.

The Mission President and his wife needed to attend a Mission President's training workshop up in Portland with about 20 or more other Missionary Presidents for four days.

 So they asked me if I could take care of and feed Amy every day and walk her, and take her out a few times a day.
Needless to say, I happily agreed because I miss our doggies, Toby and Roxy.

Anyway, she spent some time at my apartment with me on my p day and made herself quite at home. She is a very gentle dog and very obedient. I have never heard her bark.

However, the apt place said pets were not allowed here. So  I had to take her back to their house. Sister Cordon said I could sleep in their guest room at night until they got home late Friday night. That was a nice change having a  house to be in for a few days and dog to sleep with me again.
Also, I was able to wash all my dishes in their dishwasher, which I felt relieved about.
It is hard to get some of the plastic containers degreased.
Sleeping between my legs while I worked on my computer.
Out for a walk on the church grounds. Dogs are not allowed on the Temple grounds.

Her pee pad in the garage covered by fake grass. I thought that was pretty clever.



Do her morning stretches and belly rolling. Snoozing on the guest room bed below.

My first convert baptism Estreniah Radcliff from Canada

She is nanny here, and it was her night off.  She had majored in Sociology and me in psych. We both love kids and had a lot to talk about. She sent part of her later life in foster care. So someday she wants to be a foster parent too. Which lead to our discussion about the challenge of raising children who have experienced early trauma. I introduced her to another Sister to help her. A few days later she came again with more questions. This time the questions were about the church.      We are only allowed to answer questions about family history and bear a brief testimony about why we do family history work, I did just that.  We are not allowed to proselytize in the Library.  We want people to feel comfortable coming here.  Since she still had more questions I introduced her to the younger Sister missionaries  ...
