Long story short: We're dog parents. I'll go on in more detail later. Here's the first (pathetic-cameraphone shot) picture:

He came with the name "Levi" but that seems waaay to Mormon. So we'll see. More pics to come.

And here are the obligatory new-dog-parent photos and (youtube willing) even a video (ooooh):

...you'd be forgiven for forgetting that our little zoo by the river has four cats, too. Here, let me remind you...

Yeah, it was ridiculously cute. Adorable. For the record, Winston was asleep in the next room. How are in-room relations?

Shurik (A) is the alpha animal and he knows it. He loves to taunt Winston -- who is wholly terrified of him. He's pretty scared of all the cats, but Shurik is the only one who flaunts it.
Kione (B) just doesn't really care. She gets pissed when he takes her spot next to me on the couch, but that's about it. Winston will sometimes posture with her, but he never gets farther than that (there was once, but then he realized how claws on the nose feel).
Clementine (C) is still skittish around Winston and he postures around her quite a bit. But, to her credit, she stands her ground now. Plus it's really funny to see her puff up.
It's actually quite surprising to see Amaya (D) out when Winston isn't in his crate. She spent the first two weeks after Winston's arrival under the sink in the bathroom. She's gotten much better and will actually come out when he's passed out and motionless. This morning he caught her out and postured -- she puffed up but didn't back down. He backed off eventually, and she went back to her home under the sink. It's been slow, but she's getting there.
As for their food, Winston won't touch it; it's the same with the litter box. It's all peaceable kingdom 'round here.
