Thanks, Sha and everyone for your nice words about my Grace. She is so sweet and trusting, always at my side and willing to do whatever I ask of her--I found her little elf costume, so I'll have to dress her up.
Augusta, on the other hand, would have had that hat off in a second and torn to bits in the next two, just to teach me a lesson about humiliating her! In fact, if Augusta would have seen this hat on Grace, she would have removed it from her head in an instant as if to say, "What's the matter with you! You're a Labrador Retriever, for Pete's sake, not some dress up doll. Don't put up with any of that nonsense. I'm embarassed for you, do you know that?"
