We’re as ready as I’m going to make us.”<br/><em><br/>"Good morning yourself cutie.....Sounds good to me.....I dont think we could have cleaned more thoroughly if we were doing a full blown Spring cleaning"</em><br/><br/>I take a sip of my coffee<br/><br/>I get my first 'advisement' of the day:<br/><br/>“So be prepared for a call to go visit them or just Mother. She changes her mind sometimes so even though the plan is for brunch tomorrow somewhere in the North End, we may get a call as early as a couple of hours from now. It’ll be interesting to see how long she gnaws on Joel before she has him ready to sit up and beg. With Mother, the watch phrase is ‘be flexible.’ I usually tell her I’m not that kinky but she ignores that attempt at humor.”<br/><br/><em>"I hope Joel takes a few hits for me....let your mother work out some aggression before she meets me for the first time.!"</em><br/><br/>We watch a couple and their dogs pass by below us …<br/><br/>“Do you like pets? Cats or dogs? I had a dog when I was little and Mother has had a cat as long as I know. With two of us, we could have a pet if we wanted. I’d do a rescue, just so you know. I don’t believe in showing animals so purebred or designer pets are out. Maybe an older one too. Yeah, they leave sooner than young ones but they also have a maturity that deserves to be cared for.”<br/><br/><em>"I had a dog for a little while....just one.....he died when I was young.  My sisters got to play with him more.  We never replaced him.....But"</em>....take another sip of my coffee....<em>"if you wanted a dog, I would be ok with that.  As for rescue?  Sure!  I mean, they're probably already house broken, already used to people.....What kind were you thinking of? Big? Small....or  havent you got that far yet?  We can explore it a bit if you want"</em><br/><br/><em>"Kind of surprised to hear you mention this babe.....I though you might have had enough 'tending to critters' with your lab work?"</em>
