Smirnoff the Chinese baby

So what does our neurotic dog have to do with adopting a toddler? More than you might suspect. Toddlers and dogs both understand the word "no," but practice selective hearing. They both move at the speed of molasses when you're in a hurry, then shift to Warp Factor 10 when you're not looking. And they both look at you with such unconditional love and trust that you feel incredibly responsible for their well-being. We're hoping Gomer and Qian Fang end up being the best of friends and that Gomer's self-esteem isn't damaged too much by slipping yet another notch lower in the pack hierarchy.
