Zoe the Christmas Dog

| No Comments

One thing that I didn't mention in my last post was that we got a new dog. I was going to be off work for two weeks, so we figured it was a good time. Nicole and I decided we liked corgi's so we started looking at rescue groups and pet adoption agencies. We missed the first three corgi's we tried to adopt. They are very popular. Our friends, Grant and Brenda work with pet rescue groups and foster dogs for adoption. They put out the word to their network that we were looking for a Corgi and a rescue group up in Denton contacted them saying they had a 7 month old Corgi puppy.

I met the woman for the rescue group on Dec 16th and she was ours. Her original name was "roxy", but neither of us liked that name. I wanted to name her "Indiana," "Ein" or "Bebop". Nikki didn't like anyf those but we did want something with a Geek/Sci-fi reference. So we settled on "Zoe," which references both Joss Wheadon and John Scalzi.

She's super cute, everyone who sees her wants to steal her. Here's some pictures.

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
