The Intermission

This past Friday, as I usually do, I perused the Amazon Friday Sale. One object in particular caught my eye: the “Merry Pet” brand Mansion Wood Pet House. Here’s a picture:

My mind immediately jumped to two reasons why I would never buy this.

1. If I’m going to spend $450 for a pet house, it should make my pet more than just “merry”. It should be the “Ecstatic Pet” Mansion Wood Pet House. Or the “Suddenly Perfectly Well Behaved” Mansion Wood Pet House.

2. I’m generally opposed to Keiko living anywhere that’s nicer than my home. Mainly, I’m worried that Keiko will spend one night in there, learn how to play pinochle, order a glass monocle online, and then come out the next morning telling me what to do. “I say, dear boy, would you mind fetching me that ball?” In my imagination, she comes out looking and sounding like Mr. Peabody.

So I’ll steer clear of the pet mansion for now.

I’d like to introduce you all to my puppy, Keiko (pronounced kay-co). Sarah and I are pretty sure she’s some kind of Border Collie mix, although there’s a chance she is a McNab, which is specific kind of Border Collie mix. She has loads of energy and a great personality. Here are some fun pictures we took recently:

Keiko is my little pal.

Keiko has me by the neck.

Do you see the family resemblance?
