A Fast and Furious New Friend

His name is Spencer, and he is a gangly 42-pound labrador mix. About as wiggly as a 2-year old toddler on a sugar buzz, he is also a pretty happy bloke. I don't know if I'm ready for this, having said good-bye to our dear friend Sam in May. It will be a test of my constitution, patience and will to live to see who survives: the dog or me. Or, my husband, let's just say.
