Dog is my Copilot

Jill's dog Otis has been with us for about two months now and has slowly become more comfortable with the house. He's about 14 pounds and half shiatsu and half terrier so he has a very interesting personality and has obviously taken our hearts over. He's also gained a new friend from next door who's name is just plain Ed. Ed, a refugee from the streets of Puerto Rico, lives in Cambridge, MA in the winter so Otis, at times, just looks to the house next door to see if Ed's still around.

Every time I see him I say the obvious line from Animal House of "Otis---My Man". He's a wonderful addition to our household so thought I'd finally put some pictures of him here to share with the rest of the clan. Today was bath day so that's always a hoot, especially when he's been toweled off and runs around the house shaking any remaining dampness off and trying to crawl through the rug with his nose leading the way. Oh well, life is always interesting with animals around. Our cat, Gabby, just sits and seems to say "whatever". Enjoy.
