of tax equivalency between a certain number of pets and one human child. There is all sorts of societal good that could be set up through this like requiring pet owners would to have said pets  spayed or neutered to qualify, certify a certain level of environment for them to play in and so forth. But, sadly enough, we do not.

All of that was in reflection of us attempting to get a second dog for the second time.



We're calling her Piper and from what we have been told she is a Labrador and Irish Setter mix. So far, she seems to be a pretty passive pup. She got barked at for eating the cat's food last night and immediately got into a submissive posture, belly towards the celling. There was a bit of trouble getting into and saying in the kennel we're using for her, but Elizabeth and I are hoping that, and the cat food eating, will go away in a few days as she adjusts to living with us.

So far, Jazz and her are getting along much better than the other dog we tried out last year. There was no surprises waiting for us in Jazz's kennel this morning and Piper was far more playful and tolerant of his eagerness to play with her. This is leading us to hope that we don't have another indecent of Jazz painting with wall with liquid poop.
