We ended up visiting family in North Carolina for New Year’s. Alex, loved all the extra attention she got from everybody. Can you tell by her face?
Aside from human companionship, Alex was able to see her cousin, Stryker, again. Stryker is a Jack Russell Terrier. It was funny and interesting to see them together because whenever the kids would run around the house, both Alex and Stryker would bark at them, with Stryker being the more adamant about ending their running and/or playing.
We got lucky that Cynthia, my partner, was able to capture this picture of all of us before Stryker and Alex moved. Happy New Year to all of you. May you have health, prosperity, love, and peace in this new year.

Great photos! Even if the four-legged family members are more interested in each other than the camera.
Lol. You are so right. I did not realize that:)
