Hey OilMan...

...Can I have a puppy?
I went to the Santa Rosa Humane Society this morning with Dana and Peter. She had some trumped up excuse about checking out the kittens for Peter's friend Gavin (who is in Chicago with his father). Hummm... since Dana saw a picture in the paper of a little dog that was available for adoption....

The Humane Society is actually a fun place to visit. The animals have their own rooms with viewing windows and doors. The rooms are immaculate and full of beds, easy chairs, little cots, toys and volunteers. There were so many kittens that they are having a "Two for One" special this month. Since Dana once worked at the "Pathogen Free Cat Colony at UC Davis (my mother was fond calling it "that cat house where Dana works...") she is quite knowledgeable about cats, but it was really the puppies she wanted to check out.

The one she had seen in the paper was no longer there, but Mork here was also very cute. Since Dana thinks she would be a single mother if she got another dog, and I doubt if she consulted "the Little General", she decided that OilMan and I should adopt Mork....

We're expecting a flying visit from my brother's daughter, Annie, her Italian husband, Davide and their daughter, Emma. It is Emma's birthday today so Peter and Dana are baking a cake. Peter thinks he and I should open a restaurant.

I'd rather get a puppy....
