A good time was had at Thanksgiving. My cousin and his wife cooked an excellent meal and plenty of entertainment was provided by their new dog, Rico.

In between licking each of the guests, running aimlessly from room to room, chewing on its many toys and barking at the deer that ran across the front lawn, Rico posed for pictures. Here is one that I particularly like :


Rico is a mixed breed - half golden retriever and half shetland sheepdog. He is just over one year old and was born in Puerto Rico (hence his name) where he survived on its streets before being snatched by the dog catcher, brought to the States and purchased by my cousin. What a cute dog!
