I GOT A DOG!!!! Hooray! My love! My life! How stupendous. He's pretty sweet and making strides every day. I rescued him from a shelter on Friday, and he's learning to do all kinds of things--run on a leash, act like a puppy, hang at the bar, go downstairs, ride on an elevator. He did not have to learn how to cheer for the Huskers. Buddy already looks good in red. 

I love naming people, animals, characters. There are so many important things to go into thought with a name. The meaning of the name, who the namesake is, if you'll go with a theme for this pet and future ones, etc. After many great names I put on the table (Brees for Drew, Prince for Amukamara, Gio for Gonzalez, Jet, Grif for Blake Griffin), the one name John came out with won out. Welcome to the family, Yadi. 

We love America, the Huskers,
and each other

Yadi is a Black Nose Cur--a dog I had
never heard of but he's pretty great!

I'll hang out between you and the door
so you don't leave me again.
