Carmela likes me

Since it's a holiday, I've told Joe that we're going to go a bit light on the content today. Seems of late there's been nothing but bad news, so hopefully today we can lift the mood a bit. To wit: Carmela the wonder dog (aka, my sister Kathy's pooch). Carmela, for reasons unbeknownst to me, adores me. I'm one of her three favorite people (well, outside of her immediate family). But since I don't live in town, and haven't in over 20 years, it's a bit odd that she's got this fixation on me. I think part of it might be due to my meeting her shortly after my sister got her - I was in charge of calming the trembling two-month old Carmela down (in my arms) before, during, and after her first vet visit. I have a hunch I may have become doggy daddy on that day. Anyway, she's as adorable as ever, and in the spirit of going light today, here's a quick video I shot last night walking into my sister's house for the first time in over a month. Carmela was at the door as soon as I got out of the car. There truly is something special about the blind idiotic and totally undeserving love of a dog.
