Jonny's got a new puppy

Jonathan and I try to touch base every month or so-- he's been my best friend since we were about four.

Jonny's got a new puppy. And contrary to 37 years of standard practice, it's not a Jack Russel Terrier.

Truthfully, I don't remember what breed it is--I'm a mutt man myself.

But I got this great e-mail from Sinclair on Sunday. She and Jonny have been hanging out a lot over the past year. She totally has his number (emphasis mine):

So I heard it's your birthday, or rather was your birthday. Happy Belated to you.
Hung with Jonathan and his new pup yesterday. Not sure when you're getting your skinny ass back here but you must ask him to send you a picture. He's gotta be the cutest thing I've seen in a long time... the dog that is, not Jonathan, or whatever. you know what I mean. In true Harwell fashion he's turned to Cesar the Dog Whisperer for research, informing me of dog migration patterns and yadda yadda yadda, whereas I just want to throw the tennis ball.
