Master of the House

Digby, ever vigilant

For the dozens of readers who have written in over the past several months expressing concern about Digby's well-being, fearing that he has been woefully neglected since Veronika was born, I am here to assure you that he is doing well. As I write this, he is curled up by my side on the couch, enjoying a winter evening's nap and dreaming of his own ferocity. Although there have been some trying times in the six-plus months since his sister was born (barking when she's asleep, etc.), Digby has generally been quite good and has grown into his new, self-imposed responsibility of defending his house and family with his life. He loves Veronika with all his heart and is very affectionate, gentle and patient with her.

To prove all of this to you, I present a new photo album of Digby's adventures of the past eight months, entitled "Life as a Brother and Country Club Member", which features pictures with Veronika as well as a few of his adventures at his country club with his friends. In addition to making new friends at the club, he is also exploring the possibilities of social networking on Dogster and you can check out his profile here.

So you see, there's no need to worry about Digby. Or the safety of our house.
