You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello

This last weekend was one of mixed emotions at the Ian Shane compound. We added, and then had to subtract to the cast of characters.

D and I adopted a seven year old Jack Russell Terrier (or Jack Russell Terrorist) on Saturday. Her name is Claire, and she has already made herself at home. She is a little overweight, but I think that D and I will have her down to ideal weight in no time. We got a good start by taking her to the Uptown Art Fair and walking her for a good portion of the afternoon. She and our other dog, Abbott seem to be getting along.

Saturday night, however, we lost our last surviving rat, Louise. She died of complications from an apparent stroke she suffered last week. Her cage mate, Thelma, passed away two months ago.
