We interrupt the vacation recap posts for a very important announcement: on this day seven years ago, we adopted Milton! Seven years on, we are all quite a bit grayer, but Milt is still sweet and polite and needy. He's a weirdo, for sure: scared of the fridge; favorite people foods are roasted butternut squash and peanut butter pretzels; doesn't like to snuggle but loves a bellyrub or a butt rub; hates having his picture taken (unless it's by his girlfriend KW); has convinced two of our dogless neighbors to keep dog jerky treats in their garages for him; loves to meet people and dogs on our walks. Because of him, we are better friends with our closest neighbor (who tells his children and grandchildren, "Milt is my dog, he just lives next door") and we know way more people in our neighborhood than we would otherwise - one of them has dubbed him "the Mayor." I know everyone says this about their dogs but Milton really is the best dog ever.
