Dog in common

Last night we had a women's event for church, about hospitality. It was all about the practicalities of having people over for a meal, to get to know them better and share part of your life with them. It was interesting and the basic message seemed to be to just get on with it and not worry about having a perfectly tidy house or glamour meal prepared.

Afterwards I got chatting to someone I'd only met briefly before - she lives only a few minutes away from us, and turns out they have a Husky. This was very exciting information as huskies are quite similar to malamutes, both in looks and personality! It was good to talk with someone else who owns a "snow dog" and understands the *ahem* special qualities of the breeds!

It raises the prospect of a doggie play-date, although I don't think Ruby would cope too well with that. Who knows though -it definitely bears further thought...
