Sharpeis at the shelter

Every once in a while a Sharpei will show up at the shelter.  They always catch my eye for obvious Jelly reasons.  Last Sunday I spent some time with new arrival Heather.   She was a stray, appears to be around 11 years old and looks a lot like Jelly.   

This was her first time out of her kennel since she was still on stray hold and she looks a bit apprehensive.  I brought out the scarf to add a little color against the cement since she wasn't yet allowed to venture into the park.  It was curious to look at her and see hints of my dear Jelly as she moved around.   When I got home I took a picture of Jelly in the same scarf right away and told her about Heather.    When I return from the shelter Jelly always sniffs me up and down to take in the smells and I recount to her all the dogs I visited with that day.
