My new buddy!

I'm getting a dog. His name is Conrad, sometimes Gump. I might call him Charlie or King Charles if I feel fancy. I haven't met him yet, but I love him. I can already tell he's going to be good for me. The other day I was feeling kind of down and I watched this video of him: http://vimeo.com/30169991 . Just seeing him brightened my day and made me laugh.

I can't wait to come home to this:

And see this cute mug:

How can you have a bad day after seeing this little guy? On Saturday they are going to do a home visit and make sure I don't have a dog fighting ring in my basement. Should go well!
