Meet Dashiell Hammett

When you hear the name "Dashiell Hammett," you would not be amiss if you were to think of the guy who wrote The Maltese Falcon, but there is now another Dashiell Hammett you should be aware of (see photo)!

DH is a 4-month-old standard poodle, proudly owned by Marshall and Kellyn, the gals who did 8 sessions of Cranio-Sacral work on me back in March and April of last year; they were on campus this weekend in order to facilitate an in-service workshop for the faculty, and had asked if i could watch over their poochie during the weekend. DH will be returning 1st week in Feb., when M & K return to teach the next Cranio intensive course, which i am considering taking again.

On our big walk together yesterday, i took DH down to the lower dorms, hoping to show him off to Sky and some of the other students. Mike Mastros and Lauren were there, and i was pleased when Ghost showed up. DH bounded around Ghost like the puppy dog that he is, and when we left, Ghost followed us all the way back to my place, about a ten-minute walk through the woods.

WELL, uploading that photo only took me AN ENTIRE EVENING. But i've now read all of the Help that Blogger supplies on the issue of uploading photos, and who knows, maybe clearing my browser's cache and cookies did do some good. i'd try to upload another photo but it's going on 1 am here, and that coffee i had at Christophe's place this afternoon while he, Mike Mastros, Maintenance-Sky and i watched the AFC championship game between the Colts and the Patriots has just about worn off now.

Whew, good thing too, I gotta be to work in 8 hours!
