Ah, motherhood. Somewhere in that little piggy-pile of puppies is a certain dog you’ve met in these pages before. You are witnessing the beginnings of Storm’s obsession with food right here.

Her mother is Indy, a very lovely and patient Golden Retriever. I’m sure those of you who know Storm can spot the family resemblance.

Anyway, to mothers everywhere and my mother (and Storm’s) in particular, happy Mother’s Day.
