The Latest Addition to Our Family

Dogs in the tropics don't shed just in the summer. They shed 365 days a year!

99% of my vacuuming is just to stay on top of all the Sophie hair on my floors.

After much hesitation -- and suspicion that it would be more trouble than it was worth -- I got a new pet.

I find that I DO treat it like a pet: I talk to it (and it talks to me), I make sure that it's doing OK and hasn't wandered outside where it could fall to its death, I give it regular potty breaks. The talking is the strangest part -- it tells me when it needs something, and I find I talk back to it a LOT. Sophie is a little jealous.

Aloha!
