Meeting the Relatives

Cheryl left voting in the municipal elections last night to the last minute. So when she arrived at the local community center just before 8 P.M., she happened on a dog obedience class. One of the pupils was a black and white female Portuguese Water Dog with the same type of markings as Oreo. After voting, Cheryl rushed home, picked up Oreo and tracked down the owners of the other dog.

It turns out that the owners inherited their three-year old PWD from another family and their dog comes from the same kennel as Oreo. Cheryl suspects that Oreo and this other dog share the same father since Oreo's father has the distinctive markings they both bear.

Meeting the relatives has a different meaning in the doggie world since one male may have sired dozens of offspring. Then again, with our new world of multiple and blended families, maybe we're not so different after all.
