Meet Digory

There's a new addition to our family.

Digory is the newest member of the Long household in Charlotte. But we just met him this weekend. He's short and furry and and a ball of energy.

By the way, Digory is a dog (but I don't think he knows it).

He was a birthday present for daughter Katie from husband Drew; but it took a couple of trips to the pound -- er, animal shelter-- to find the right breed, a Havanese. Digory has been with them since early June, but we didn't get to meet him until now. This is my second phase of Father's Day, just two weeks late.

According to Cathy, we have always been cat people, except for Charlie who traveled with us from Decatur to Warner Robins to Kingsland. Her comment was that Katie had now gone over to the dark side.

But after two days, Katie is going to have to make sure to check the luggage before we leave, because Digory has bcome Cathy's new best friend.

He's a cute bundle of fluff who loves to chase his star-shaped ball, have his tummy rubbed and go for walks.

So now we are both cat AND dog people and we are looking for Digory to bring the Longs to Marietta soon.

We just have to have time to explain this to Toby the cat.
