Speaking of dogs...

I can't comment on dogs at Sea World without bragging about Jack's K-9 siblings. For those that aren't obsessed with watching Westminster every year, this big red dog is not Clifford - it's Blue, my Rhodesian Ridgeback. He is the World's Best Dog (ha - you thought yours was!). His papers say he's a champion, but so far he only excels at goosing you when you're not looking.

Blue takes his older brother duties very seriously. When Jack was sick, he would sit with me out in the family room while I tried to comfort the little one. When Jack cries in his crib, Blue is usually the first one upstairs making sure his charge is okay. He weighs about 90 pounds and quite literally thinks he's human. We don't have the heart to tell him the truth.

Sugar, our other RR, could a.) care less about the baby, and b.) wonders what all the fuss is about. More on her later...
