The Good, The Bad, and Everything Else

Well, it's been an interesting week, with ups and downs.

First off, the Good. I'd like to introduce the newest addition to the Obscure household:

He's a retired racing greyhound, pure sweetness, all legs and nose (you can't tell about the legs from this picture, but he's built like a small deer).

I tried to get a picture of him running and jumping with his new favorite squeak toy (a pink rubber ball with legs and a very loud squeak), but this is what I got:

He's quick! Like a greyhound! I have to keep working on my camera skills. Anyway, we are all charmed by him, and he's only been with us a few days. (Although I think the tortoises are still a bit skeptical.)

Now the Bad. Just found out I did not get a job I tried very hard for.  Those are the breaks, but it means more belt-tightening, which will be done.

And Everything else? Random stuff and pretties that shall remain unpurchased:
