I love going to the vet!
This is my father's dog Dash, short for Dashiell Hammet. I guess we have a tradition of naming our pets after characters or writers. We had a cat named Orpheus (yes, he was black), a cat named Alexei, a cat called Lucy. We have a cat named Bertram Wooster now. My parents also have a lab called Truman. Though they were thinking of calling him Obama. So I guess that is a different direction.
