To break up all this constant talk of weather, I wanted to report that Dennis Havel has gotten a beautiful new dog from a Hudson Valley shelter. He has named him "Dusty". He is about 4 years old. Several people (including me) think that Dusty is part lab and part greyhound (with who knows what else mixed in for good measure). Dusty has ears and a coat like a lab but is also thin with long legs and a longish face like a greyhound. Whatever he is, Dennis said he is a great dog. The two are already the best of friends!
