Really, Amos! It's so obvious that I hardly think I need spell it out for you... :-)

My parents being in a very vulnerable emotional state since Arnot passed on, they got the 3 year old dachshund today. He's small, brown, and feisty. His name is Licorice. We shall see how he fits in shortly. Valdy is unimpressed, but he is basically ignoring the situation, as he does with almost everything except food and strangers (human strangers, that is...).
