I got my big-dog fix this weekend when our neighbor asked us to watch her dog Lucy and cat Macaroni while she was out of town.

Lucy is equivalent to about seven Caspers in size, and I had a lot of fun scratching her belly and watching her gallop around the living room when she got happy seeing me come through the door.

I took a quick picture of her with my phone. If I had to name her pose in this picture, it would be called “You’re not going to break my heart and leave now…are you?”
