His new name is Rapey McHumpster.
When he was settled in, I went into the solarium without Sparky so we could get acquainted. He got up on his hind legs to say hello. I thought he might be one of those fancy dogs who knows how to dance, like Scooby-Doo or Marmaduke. When he grabbed my leg like he was drowning, I knew we weren’t dancing.
A few months after Sparky moved in, I took him across the street to meet Carl. They got along well, and he didn’t even mind Sparky taking a shit in his pachysandras. Carl told me that there are short beagles and tall beagles. Like they were different styles of the same breed.
Carl is 96 years-old, and says interesting things, but it may not all be strictly true. I remain skeptical of his thoughts on the medicinal uses of cobwebs and turpentine.
Meet the new guy.
Tomorrow, I will go down to the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield to pick him up. I hope this is a good idea.

Beaker was a strong candidate for adoption. He’s a beagle with a nice smile. That’s my criteria. When I contacted the orphanage, he had already been adopted. Like Sparky, he was in and out in a day.
Getting a dog is like buying a house. I have to check the listings every day, be ready to move, but not be so eager that I take the next one that looks pretty good.
