The Day Daisy Came To Stay

…was today, as a matter of fact

WE HAVE A DOG!

Today, Grace and I adopted a 5 year old female Basset Hound. Her name is Daisy. She is very healthy, very friendly and pretty darned glad to be outta the shelter and in a house. We gave her a flea bath at LaunderDog and she was a hell of alot easier to wash than Roscoe ever was.

I’ll be taking pictures of Daisy this weekend and will try to put them up for y’all to see.

And yes, we will be getting a second dog in the near future.

Monek Vuu came to Earth to study a species that was amazingly similar, physically, to his own. With only a minimal amount of genetic reconfiguration, he made himself look exactly like them. Then, alone, he came to Earth and infiltrated a group of them. The fools back at the University of Jittaki would soon regret labelling him a “washed up has been”.

Things went well for Monek over the first 3 months. He would sneak back to his ship every week or so to write down his observations and have a bottle of suzzok. Then, in the beginning of the fourth month, things took a bad turn. Humans came and captured Monek and his entire adopted family. He considered trying to reason with the humans, then thought better of it. After all, humans were notoriously unreasonable.

After many days, they were put upon a transport vessel that brought them to their present home. Monek tried several times to escape, but the humans had them locked up tight. After a time, Monek decided to wait, study the human language and eventually try to make contact. So far, things are progressing slowly, but Monek is optimistic.

Besides, posing as a chimpanzee wasn’t such a bad gig.
