What About Love: Some/thing New

We have a new pup named Cody. He was a sweet little Jekyll of a boy until exactly 3 weeks after his arrival. On day 22 he transformed himself into 100% pure Hyde-bound hell-on-paws animal chaos. Grrrlville was pretty chaotic before we adopted this fellow.  What were we thinking?

Cody has a lot of Marley in him. He aspires to bipedalism.  He loves fun and food, and his definition of both of this items is extremely broad. He's scared of Moriah and water.  Pearl and Carrie adore him.  When visitors arrive as our door, Carrie warns, in the loudest voice she can muster: HE'S NOT TRAINED.  She's right about that.

Cody loves the chill winter days. He runs awkwardly, in an unpredictable lope, gulping down gallons of wind and chasing the brittle leaves. He is my boy.

New flesh for this skeleton (for Freedom to Marry) is a poem based on a skeleton from Dana.

He does sound like a handful, but you are taking it philosophically. I love Pearl's announcement to visitors.
