Qubit!

Dogs, we've got 'em!

Boys need dogs, my boys maybe more than most. But getting a dog turns out to be complicated. It used to be you'd hear about a friend who had a litter, or there would be a box of them in front of the supermarket, or you just waited until someone threw a puppy over your fence. You didn't have to seek to find. Now it's more like adopting a child, with forms to be filled out, interviews to be had, fees to be paid. And new now, which is to say under the current circumstances, a lot of people have drawn the obvious conclusion, namely that having someone at home who actually wants to spend the entire day with you would be lovely, the result of which is that a dog has become quite hard to find.

Hard, but not impossible. Welcome Qubit, a small dachshund/terrier (?) mix puppy we fetched yesterday from the Humane Society of Sonoma County. She is healthy and happy and friendly and not too nervous and totally untrained and almost as lovable as Talia I mean just look at that smile...

There's nothing like a dog to give one a sense of future.
