As it should be. Siv looks troubled. Her parents were very upset earlier. But whatever it is, it isn't a priority now to pester them about it. The normally cheerful girl looks very somber as she goes about her duties in clean up and the like.

it's amazing at that moment how much she looks like her older sister Jessica

The mastifs are snarly at times, but Oak and Edelwiess are on the case.

And Dagmar, when she tells Jaymes and Tove, finds out they're just glad she's okay. They can stitch the jacket

Not “the Mastiffs”, Connor is insistent. Polly, Perceval, and Sir Reginald von Fluffybottom.

Well, Connor would know...

Oak and Edelweiss are glad that others named them. Whew. Dignity saved.

Gerd is warned to be cautious around the new dogs, though she wants to fuss over them too.

Mackerel hides and does't talk to ANYONE! There are enough dogs here!

Poor kitty!
