in reply to New family addition

You know, I'm reading this, and thinking "I'll just click on the 'as can be seen here' link later" -- "why would a little baby tackle someone. Wait a minute, why was a newborn brought to the humane society?!?" -- "Thoroughly licked - must be some colloquialism for 'bloody nose'?" -- "I'd hate to name a baby girl Perl, in this day and age" -- "How would friends and family pet names' impact a child's name?".

And then I get to the last word of your post.

<slaps forehead>

Can you tell that I've got another kind of family addition on the brain lately? ;)

Congratulations on your rescue! My wife and I took one in almost a year ago and we've really enjoyed having him around.

And indeed, that is quite a Cool Use For "Perl" ;)

    Ha! I got my dad, too. We were at the humane society, processing paperwork, and I called him.

    "Dad, are you sitting down? You're going to be a grandparent again."
    "AlRIIIIGHT! That is fantastic! Fan-tastic! When are you expecting?"
    "About twenty minutes."
    "WHAT?!?!"
    "Eva and I are adopting a beagle puppy at The Humane Society."
    "You dirty-- Hahaha-- Is she trained to hunt rabbits yet?"

    And congratulations on your family addition. We've talked about that, too, but we already have two kids. Besides, dogs will listen and are easier to train.
