At an agility trial last weekend I was hanging out with one of my former students and her dogs, when, in all seriousness, she asked me if she could put me in her will to take her pups in the event of her death. If this were to ever happen, I don’t know how I’d deal with adding two more to the pack of four that live here. But I’ve known her and her dogs for years, and her pups are small and well-behaved and cute, and so we’d all make do somehow.
