our family is growing. besides lani and tess who were responsible for my not having do laundry ever again, last tuesday we picked up a four month old puglet from its temporary home. Home being the second floor of masters printing press along hilado extension. he greeted us from inside his metal carrier with his sad face as if saying 'you have to get me out of here'. he was pretty good at it. he had us at a pant (never heard him bark).

after a night of acclimatizing, he seemed to have adjusted well to his new surroudings now. he slept early for a change. other changes that he notably brought home include: rendering bjork insecure (which led the latter to be more affectionate. on the first night, after seeing that everyone's attention was on the newcomer, he rubbed his face on my arm for aminute or so), increasing our laundry by 100% (his favorite latrine is the long couch at sis' house), forcing the most complacent bone to exercise among others. the days has gotten busy, with his excessive demand for attention. i think i lost two pounds in the last two days avoiding him...lol
