The untimely departure last November of Harveydog, the stubby-legged mutt beloved of Babs and me, left a gap in the Babsian household. Down to four or five cats, Babs and me, when I've been good. Lucy, the new dog, arrived a couple of weeks ago, plucked from the jaws of euthanasia at the Humane Society by the tender-hearted Babs. Below, at her benefactor's request, is a picture of Lucy, Dog II.

Is it wrong that I initially read the first post as 'rescued from the jews of euthenasia'?
(My pulse jumped 20 units when I thought of the possibilities that The Purge had begun, and on Their Terms.)

Shot, it is not wrong that you read it that way. It comes with age. When you get to be my age it happens more often than you would like. But it can make for some funny thoughts.

I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated.

Grid, your dog looks like the sort that would make a burglar say his prayers. Babs, your dog looks like the sort that would knock the burglar down and kiss his face until he gave up and ran out the back door empty-handed! ...Lots of personality in both cases

Black and tan...indeed. I have heard or read that term applied to a mix of stout and pale ale, but I digress.
Lucy is a mix, in which the major part seems to be coonhound. Her ears and tail are shorter than a purebred coonhound, and she is not quite as jowly in the muzzle.
And, yes, Lucy would likely slobber all over a burglar in delight at having company. She also apparently was deprived of puppyhood cuddling owing to her incarceration, for she tries to climb into our laps when we sit down. All sixty pounds and several yards of legs. Oof!
Still some tension (okay, a lot of tension) with the Alpha Cat, but we are working on that.
