I know that in a little over a week, I will meet my successor dog. Three weeks from now, I will be on my way home with him or her. And I even got a photo of the dogs in the class.

And while the idea of a dog named after an Irene Cara tune is exciting (seriously, but so is one named after Jonny Quest's buddy*, an airbender or any of them), Claren made snow tolerable, even enjoyable.
She loved snow, and for her I was willing to put up with it even if snow is my least favorite environmental happening. It is cold; it traps me where I am.
As it is now, I have my awful mind to deal with during this blizzard. Trust me, that's bad.
* Yes, Jonny's pal had a "d", but pronunciation is the same.

Matt,
It looks like a really nice group of dogs, including several black ones, which are my personal favorite. Best of luck on a great match! I'm sure you'll be happy to have a dog in your life again.
Thanks, Laura, it'll be great
