Welcome to Mark an El

Tonight's warm welcome goes out to Mark and his daughter El from the San Francisco area.They are in town to attend to some of the El's soccer gigs. As I emerged from Starbucks tonight, I found two of them doting over Donner, who had been otherwise patiently waiting for his treat. They themselves are the proud guardians of two beautiful golden retrievers, which probably explains their ease of showing affection towards Donner. Practice makes perfect, as the saying goes.
