Not exactly a birth announcement, but....

Say hello to the latest addition to the family. Or at least it will be on or about November 21st. Judge is a male Labradoodle (and no, that is NOT a typo) puppy who will eventually grow to be roughly the size of a Buick (Labradoodles can grow to 90 lbs). Hey, if you can’t have another child, you might as well get yourself a Big Dog, eh?

Now that we have an empty nest, She Who Endures My Myriad Eccentricities has been struggling with the adjustment, which is only understandable. After 22 years of being a full-time mother and living every day for her children, she now finds herself, well, somewhat adrift. So, what’s a girl to do? Why, how about spending $525 to get a new dog, and while “Judge” is certainly shorter than “Designated Adam & Eric Replacement Unit”, that’s essentially the role Judge will be playing. Hey, it beats the Hell out of changing diapers….

What amazes me is that Susan is paying $525 dollars FOR A DOG SHE WILL NEVER SEE until we pick it up at the airport. She purchased the puppy from a breeder in Arkansas, and it will be eight weeks old and old enough to ship around November 21st. This could be a major disaster or a major blessing…and I’m going to look on the bright side. Besides, I haven’t had a puppy since I was a kid, so it will be a learning experience for me as well. And if Judge happens to fill at least a lit bit of the empty space in Susan’s heart, he’ll be a welcome addition to the family.

Cigars will be available in the lobby at intermission….
