The Life of the Party

This holiday weekend we had a family gathering with folks from far and near.  There were many hands for petting at the party and all the animals took full advantage of the situation.  Henry would sit and just wait for someone to pet him.  Benjamin got into plenty of trouble as he tried to steal goodies from the table even accomplishing snagging a piece of cheese and a lick of icing off of a piece of cake.  However, little Luna was the one most everyone raved about.  Since she is so petite she does seem to attract most of the attention, not to mention that she was all dolled up in her sun-dress and pearl necklace.  As the Labor Day bash was nearing an end and some of the relatives were about to leave, little Luna really poured it on thick, having to be pried from a young lady’s lap and then showing off so much that everyone felt compelled to dote on her as they tried to make their exit.  One of the attendees commented that Luna reminded her of her dog, a long haired chihuahua named Lucy.  I guess it is something about the tiny, feisty ones!  One of the other guests, also a dog lover, just knew that that all the pups, hers included (a mixed breed named Haley) would get along all together like one big pack.  It would have been an even livelier event had they brought their furry friends.  Maybe next year!  In any case, a fine time was had by all creatures great & small.
