Progress Report from the Kennel of Smiles

"Rufie's* been smiling a log of time while I gave her a belly-rub. Golden's smiling too, and he has a bigger smile than Rufie."**

(June 9, 2011)

*In the grown-up world, this puppy's name is "Ruthie."

**This report reflects a great milestone, because it shows that Daniel is learning not only empathy, but also concrete tasks to make puppies happy, rather than sad or crazy. And clearly, the happiness took hold.
