Meet Bacon

I adopted a dog, finally. He's eight years old, about 45-50 pounds, black lab mix. I adopted him through Homeward Trails from a family that had to give him up due their infant. He's doing great, and is proving to be instrumental in meeting all the cute girls that are moving into Columbia Heights now that it isn't "scary" anymore. Finally I can be included in the dog society that has shunned me for so long. You know, picking up poop gives you a sense of entitlement.

I gotta say, that's an excellent name.
Yes... When it comes to the genitalia of society, dogs are the lubricant.
I was thinking dogs are more like the french tickler.
great news! can't wait to meet Bacon. and two thumbs up for Homeward Trails - they helped me adopt Meru.
He's invisible. Or rather, he looks like a tiny red X. A useful dog to have for security purposes, perhaps, but kind of defeats the "look upon my adorable dog!!!" picking up girls function.
I thoroughly approve of the name, though.
"Aw, he's precious. How old is he!?"
[you say a quantity of time]
"Aw, he's so cute!"
[he picks up a stripped chicken bone from the gutter, where it was lying in dried vomit]
"What's his name? Oh, cutie cutie cute cute"
[he farts]
YAY DOG OWNERSHIP! And waking up at 8:00am on Saturdays and Sundays. All totally worth it.
best. name. ever.
I can't see his photograph, either, but congratulations. Several D.C. bloggers have acquired pups this year.
Congratulations. I echo everyone's praise of your name choice. Best. Homeward Trails is great - they gave me Stella about a month ago.
I really don't know what to say to people who can't see the picture. I've seen it fine on multiple computers. If you're using a non-IE browser, I would suggest trying IE.
