Ahem...

When you adopt a racing greyhound, they give you a book on him/her that outlines things like racing results, parentage, and the like. Thus, I can tell you that Chico's father was "Kyle's Hombre" and Chico's mother was "Rapido Go Go." While I didn't know Ms. Go Go, I have reliable information that she always comported herself as a lady.

Chico turned three the day we adopted him; he has informed us that he will outlive us all. I'm not sure whether to take that as a forecast for his own long life or a threat he's making to shorten our lives.
