We broke down and finally got a dog, a German Shorthaired Pointer. He is adorable and very intelligent. We are all amazed at how quickly he is learning to do his “necessities” outside. And when he’s in trouble, he knows it, and grovels without coming near the offended party – usually mommy – until he’s been restored to good graces. I was prepared to have a puppy, kind of reluctantly, but he is turning out to be an easier task than I had expected.

That’s not to say there are sleepless nights – last night was very looooong, or short, when you add up the hours I actually slept. Hopefully soon we can get him to sleep longer hours at night without needing to go outside.
