Because this is turning out to be a no-good, very-bad week ...

Here's a photo of Kat's adorable puppy gnawing on my thumb.

p.s. That's Craig's manlymanly arm at the bottom of the shot. I am not that hirsute.
p.p.s. The puppy is a chocolate labradoodle (labraDOODLE!) called Bailey and is pretty much the cutest thing ever.
p.p.p.s. With me? puppies are like babies. I distrust them generally, like a few, am definitely not ready for one of my own.
p.p.p.p.s. Sir C and I will probably eventually get a cat rather than a dog anyway. You can't parallel that one to babies.
