miscellaneous rambling

After Zipper passed on, we decided to help a friend take care of a street dog. She already has 12 of them in her tiny house in Taiwan, and she can't handle anymore, even though she can't resist taking new ones in. ( she tries to find homes for them too).
Charlie has been here, and also at another friend's place for two weeks, and finally this week, we've decided to "officially" adopt him as our own. He is getting his new name placard made for his cage, and also will be posted on the school as the new official mascot. He has already learned many English words, and commands, and can ride a scooter with excellent agility.
Since he's in off the streets, we are helping him fight a bit of a skin problem right now, but we're sure he'll be fully recovered soon!
