Yup. We've got a dog in the house. A puppy. About 7 weeks old as I write this.It's a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix. People who like dogs say that this is a really good combination. They also say he'll get pretty big.
I'm not a dog person myself, but I'm not anti-dog. I like animals and am actually fine with "Buddy" being in the house. However, I did let it be well-known to the family that I would NOT be taking care of the dog. I've had cats for most of my life and we still have a cat in the house that I'd had even before I got married. Other than the very occassional cleaning of the litter box or feeding, no one has lifted a finger to help care for the cat or clean up after it. I figure I should be allowed to do the same with a dog in the house.
The dog is actually an early birthday present for my soon-to-be 11 year old. Some boys should have a dog for a pet, a friendly companion, and I think my son is one of those boys.

The hound looks pretty awesome. BTW--your Goodreads review of Star Trek 2 just blasted me back, in a good way.
