Meet Aubie

We were adopted by a very sweet dog--we think he might be a border Collie--yesterday afternoon. This is one super dog. He's been running around the neighborhood for a few days. Not sure if he belongs to someone, he looks healthy and well-fed. Unfortunately, folks who don't want to take care of an animal for one reason or another will drive out in the country and leave the poor pup or cat, without knowing what will happen to it. Don't read too much into the parallel to adoptions of Chinese children in general, though you certainly could make a comparison. I'm not meaning to give a social commentary.
J.T. has named the pup Aubie, mostly in response to the neighbor's dog, which is named Bama. [For those of you ignorant of the Auburn--Alabama rivalry, Aubie is the Auburn team's mascot. You can imagine what Bama stands for, can't you? :) ]
