More: Gemma is a delight. She takes joy in greeting our neighbors, both 2-legged and 4-legged, paying special attention to our older house-bound residents. But she's always up for car rides and trail hikes. The only thing she seems to dislike is being left behind. Which isn't often. I always say dogs don't make our life easier but they sure make it better. Gemma is a premier example of that.
