The zoo has expanded. After five years of indecisiveness, Jennie finally bought a horse. He’s a Polish Arab, sweet tempered and not all that bad for a horse. Officially, he is Fire Summer Rain, but I call him either Alpo or Krokette (which my Dutch friend Maike assures me is commonly made with horse meat). So, a horse is a large addition to a household, you say? Why yes it is. And how do you celebrate such an addition? By agreeing to adopt a puppy, of course! And here he is . . .
Hiro (yes, the previous and hopefully future owners are big Heroes fans) was 11 weeks old yesterday. He is a yellow lab and hails from Humboldt County, California. And no, just because he is from Humboldt does NOT mean he is a stoner, dammit! Unfortunately, he has the usual puppy traits, which is to say he is constantly pooping and peeing and whining. Admittedly, this can be a bit unnerving if you aren’t a dog-person and have had no puppy experience. We expect he will soon learn that it is better to drop a steaming load of puppy goo-ness outside rather than inside, and the whining has all but ceased in the 12 hours we’ve had him. He will be a real dog in no time! After that, I am not sure whether we are keeping him or whether his previous owners will be ready for him. Okay, time to go find out why he is being so quiet.
