Yeti the Dog Miscellany

I’m sure all of you are thinking, “JavaOne, yeah, yeah, but what about that damn fine lookin’ dog of yours?”

Well, thanks to the wonders of e-mail (have you heard of it?), I have these updates from the lovely Kim Skotak:

• Yeti likes peanut butter. He likes apple slices. He likes peanut butter on apple slices!
• Yeti is getting to like The Crate better. Kim went out tonight, so it was crate time. When she came back, he was asleep in the crate. We’ll see how receptive he is to getting into it next time. The crate’s good as he’s a 4 month old puppy who’d probably rip a bunch of stuff when we’re gone. We’ve also been lead to believe that dogs kind of like crates: it’s their own personal space.
• Kim and Yeti went to the Crown and Anchor and he was quite sociable and nice. He made friends with a Golden Retriever. Apparently, he’s quite the babe magnet. Tom has already made plans to “baby sit” him sometime. A fellow large dog owner — who said his Mastiff loves those orange constructions cones — said, “seeing [yeti] is the best thing that’s happened all day.” People like the dog.
• The vet says he looks OK. He’s probably loosing some teeth, which makes eat his kibble painful.
