I'm quite happily addicted to the Internet. So when the power is out for 5 hours and counting, I'm not happy. Stupid massive thunderstorm. (And yes, I know other places have it much worse after last weekend, but I'm here.)

Just a bit of new doggy pic spam... Things are getting less tense, though it looks like Kia's going to be the dominant one. Zora's out with Dad at the treat store right now, and I'm here with Kia.

Okay, so... we adopted Kia. They were a little tense meeting at the shelter today, but there was no growling or biting, and that was good. So we took her home. She tried to lie in my lap most of the ride home.

So, Mom and I have been going to shelters and looking at dogs recently, just to see if there were any dogs we were interested in. Today we hit the Green Bay humane society, and we fell in love.
