It's a boy!

As you know, Chris and I tend to explore the city late at night. Last night this little guy found us. He was all by himself and followed us halfway home. (An amazing feat for a dog with three feet!)



We found him all alone and crippled near a very busy highway and were afraid if we didn't take him home that he might get run over. So we took him home, gave him a bath, and will put up posters to find his owner.

Chris is an ex-Petsmart employee and is well trained in puppy care. He might even keep the little fella if we can't find his owner.

He's an awesome doggie... Doesn't do bad things and is VERY good at playing "kill it" aka, fetch. We are taking nominations on names should we keep him.


Isn't he cute??? (I know, I still don't like dogs, but this one is special!)

In other news, Derrick led me to believe that it would be ok to flush toilet paper here in our modern toilets. However, the disruption of water to our apartment yesterday, in conjunction with the picture below, leads me to believe that perhaps it wasn't such a good idea. But maybe I'm just paranoid.

Three legged dog eh? Sounds like a creepy ex-boyfriend tale. I vote you name him Tripod. And wow, is that the toilet paper police crawling in that man hole? Yeah, that sounds like another bad ex-boyfriend tale. TMI I tell ya, TMI.

UPDATE:

So we've named the pup San Zhi (jer) Jiao (jee-ow) Zi (zuh)... Jiao Zi for short.

It has the CUTEST double meaning. It means three feet AND three dumplings. Jiao Zi just means dumpling or foot... so when we call him people will just think we're calling him dumpling, which is a common pet name. I love it!

Dumpling is probably what someone called the other foot in their Yi Zhi Jiao Zi Soup.

:D

retyping this...

I don't think plumbing works like that. Waste lines go away from your house. I really... really hope that those aren't the same lines that bring you the water. (you are just being paranoid).

And what is to happen to dumpling when you guys leave China?
