January 21, 2001 - Erin and Uno

Uno was our only "child" for the first 9 years of his life, and when we first brought Erin home from the hospital, he seemed not to understand why we'd add this screaming, crying, non-mobile thing to our lives. He quickly became very attached to her, though, and was often the first one of us to reach her room when she cried. Right from the start, he was remarkably gentle with her, and he really liked when we would put her down on his level so he could smell and kiss her. And no matter what Erin would do to him (from pulling his ears to laying across him on the floor), he stoically sat through it, wagging his tail.
