Christmas Spirit

Bill just came in from a long day of work looking like this:

Bill brought Bodhi with him to the church today. He had many things to do at church--calling people, doing paperwork, etc.--but the nicest thing he did was attend a Summit Children's Program event, with Bodhi on his shoulder. I was surprised when he told me this (those of you who know the terrifying story about our first motel visit with Bodhi will understand) and I asked whether he had allowed the children to pet her and he said no. With our last ferret, the dearly departed Jill, he could surrender her into the vulnerable hands of children and worry more about her safety than theirs. But Bodhi, who is formerly known as "Rabid Biter," is a different animal altogether. She looks cute. But she's quite unpredicable, and occasionally dangerous. But she's cute anyway. Bill and she were doing their best to spread the Xmas spirit:

I just thought they both looked so dear in their red neckties.
