Lily doesn’t like dogs.
They’re dirty, she says – they smell and they’re dangerous. After this weekend, Aviva’s mom changed her mind a little bit.
She agreed we could bring our new puppy Iggy to her house as long as we brought his “cage,” a metal and plastic fence that can be shaped in many ways. So we packed everyone up in the car and drove out to Palm Desert. We spent Saturday walking on El Paseo and buying some cactus from the Moorten Botanical Garden.
Here’s a little video of Iggy bouncing on my knee in the hotel room:
A couple of audio files of doves cooing from the Moorten Botanical Garden in Palm Springs:

Iggy likes to sit on Aviva’s lap, which is great because our last schip didn’t

Speaks for itself I think
Lots of windmills in a windy area on the route between Palm Desert and Los Angeles
Iggy really wants to get at those doves
