Getting used to the idea

I've got some soup in the microwave right now. As I was stirring it, I looked over and saw THREE hopeful faces watching my every move.

Oh well - the idea of one of them being a little black guy doesn't really bother me. And I suppose it is one of Mr. Abby's redeeming qualities that he gathers up all the homeless dogs.

SIGH.

Mr. Abby thinks we should call him "Gunny." I think that's a little dweeby, but would be amenable to the more familiar "Guns." I can think of all sorts of hysterical things we could call him, but even we live in an at least slightly PC world.

But I also think "Satchel" would be cool. After Satchel Paige - the Negro League baseball player.
