Dexter & Thao

Almost exactly a year ago, Dexter and I had a really awesome guest from Vietnam come visit us. Her name is Thao, and I agreed to host her through for one of our law school's international tournaments.

What really struck me was how close Thao became with Dexter over the course of just a few days. When she first arrived, I think she was a little uneasy around him, since she was not accustomed to having a dog in the house. But after a few days, they were like two peas in a pod! Here is a wonderful excerpt from the thank-you letter Thao wrote me once she returned to Vietnam:

"I also miss you and Dexter ... I am not a person who loves dogs. But Dexter is really a lovely boy. After seeing again my photos with Dexter, I almost cry as I recognize that my chance to go to Florida and meet you and Dexter seems to be zero. You can go to Vietnam and I can meet you, but you can not bring Dexter with you. I am regretted that I should have played with him more as I was in Florida."

We miss you Thao!
