Happiness is a warm puppy. Oh yes.
Today, I...
Okay, strike that. Yesterday, technically.
I was out walking and feeling a little bit discouraged (no major reason, just feeling daunted by my to-do list), when I saw a cute puppy. He was not a tiny puppy -- I'm pretty sure he's at least largely a breed I should have recognized, and it's at least medium-sized; he was bigger than some full-grown dogs of the really little breeds. But he was a most puppyish puppy, kind of rounded and all fuzzy.
His owner very kindly permitted me a short visit and told me the puppy's name was Miles. (I managed not to say, "Vorkosigan?") He was a very friendly puppy, too, although he did try to put me in his mouth. And oh, so soft.
I was in a much better mood after that.
