Date with Dubs

One afternoon upon arriving home, we found a special invitation taped to our door. It was a Valentine Date with Dubs for our whole family (actually for all UW students with kids).

Lainy was beside herself with excitement. Dubs (in case you don't know) is the mascot for the University of Washington - a beautiful Husky dog. The invitation promised an actual meeting with Dubs himself. We decided we couldn't miss it.

As things turned out, the night scheduled for our date with Dubs turned out to be busy. Brad was tied up in meetings and we had his parents in town. But I couldn't let Lainy down, so I took her myself.

Dubs was no where to be seen when we arrived, but we contented ourselves with eating pizza and commissioning a balloon artist to make Lainy's best make-believe friend, Jessie (from Toy Story).

Finally, Dubs arrived. Lainy was the first to greet him. He was a real gentleman. He bowed to her when she approached him, stood politely beside her for a picture, and even gave her a parting kiss (a lick on the cheek). Lainy was over the moon!

We had so much fun! What could be better than a night out with Dubs, Jessie, and my little girl?

Sounds like you guys had fun. That is the most well trained husky I have ever heard of. Glad Lainy loved seeing him so much.
