A new addition

Cassie is the newest member of our extended family, adopted by my sister and her family a couple of weeks ago. As a general rule, Cassie is a cautious, affectionate, and highly intelligent dog. Today she is babysitting Heidi and Beatrice, the first time Cassie has been introduced to other dogs in her new home. Heidi's a push-over so Cassie realized right away that she's boss there. But Bea's got a lot of attitude, so the two of them play like a couple of mad dogs. After exhausting themselves in the backyard despite the mud and the rain (none of which got on your carpet Meghan... honest), I got them on video playing on the couch, both too tired to mutilate the other with much enthusiam. Two things to watch for in this video that I find highly entertaining, despite the grainy quality: 1) the look that Heidi gives to Cassie about halfway through the video, and 2) watch Bea's eyes closely in the final 3 seconds.
