We Have A Dog
April had an interview today with the Human Society today, it went well, but she's not really interested in the job.
But we've been kinda talking about getting a dog for awhile, and I've been thinking on my own that it'd be cool to get one, like, its what a young couple with no kids are supposed to do, right?
So she saw this really cute dog at the shelter, came home, and I mentioned to her when she got back that I wanted a dog, she mentioned she saw this one she really liked, so we drove down there and got the dog. It's really cool. Now I have a third office mate.
He's a medium size, tan colored dog, kinda with a hound doggish look to him, but not too hound dog. He's pretty dang cute looking, and pretty dang cool. Very lanky, hilarious ears and all that. He's both really playful and mellow. Sure, we've only had him for an hour, but I really like him.
Oh, the name. We were trying to decide between kierkegaard, walter, and percey. We went with Percey, after Walker Percey, a favorite author of April and mine.
Funny story 'bout getting the dog. So if you rent, they need to call your landlord to get approval to have the dog. Well, we didn't have our landlord's number, so we called a friend of ours named Mr. John Simpson and he played along quite well. I asked his permission of the human society could call him back in a few minutes to verify some information, and he said yes, and it was all good. John Simpson, for various reasons, is good to have as an aquaitance. There's funnier aspects to this story, but those must be reserved for a less public telling.
Oh, Percey also looks like a Mexican mutt. We even put a red bandana on him. Right now he's licking himself. Very attractive.

very cool name for the pup josiah - hope he's not as suicidal as his namesake. however, i must ask that you spell it correctly. percey, if named after walker percy, would be, well, percy. not that its a big deal, but if its a tribute, well...
then again, right now would a perfect time to name a dog "cash", or perhaps "folsom" or even "sue", if you know what i mean.

"Folsom" would be a terrific name for a dog.
