Yesterday we had our first visitor inside our house in what seems like a bazillion dog years! In fact, we can’t remember the last time we invited someone inside our home. Oh sure, Asa has had mice, ants, and various other bugs inside to play over the past year. But they weren’t invited and quickly had to leave. And Santa doesn’t count because no one saw him when he sneaked into the house to drop off gifts.

However, Asa’s mice friends and yesterday’s visitor do have something in common. He only made it as far as the basement too. For you see our big visitor, the first person to step foot inside our home in over a year, was….the furnace maintenance guy!

Clearly we need to work on Mom and Dad’s socialization skills, since he only made it as far as the basement and wasn’t allowed upstairs to play with us. But hey it’s a start, right?
