The next time there's a door, I'm going to an animal shelter and adopting a dog. A small dog, to balance off Mouse. I could name her Ella Phant, if I get a female pup. I've already started making dog toys and furniture in my woodworking shop. That has to be a sign that I need a dog.
And I need another project in the meantime. Does anyone have anything they'd like made? Human-sized furniture perhaps?
