Who is that adorable dog pictured on the Personal page?
That’s Velvet, a terrier-lab-poodle mix from the Humane Society. She’s actually not my dog; she belongs, officially at least, to my parents. Anyone who’s seen us together, though, will tell you it’s not true in practice. When I’m home, she’s my dog: she sleeps with me, she sits with me, she usually refuses to be separated from me. I love her, and really wish I could have a dog of my own. Alas, long days and apartment life don’t bode well for doggie happiness. Hopefully my first permanent position will be someplace where I can buy a house and get a dog.
