This might seem like a bit of a non-sequitor, but my best friends live along the east-coast and midwest of the United States. Merit lives in Boston, and these are her Boston Terriers. They came to visit Montreal and they’re super cute. This is Jack sleeping on Dublin’s butt. Jack has 3 legs. He had cancer and one of them got amputated. I’ve seen 3 legged dogs in SL, but it looks like their legs were bitten off. Jack, however, had propery surgery and therapy for any post-traumatic stress. This is actually him on the couch waiting for his psychiatrist. Now he can hop up on chairs and pretty much get around as usual. This also spares him the usual leg lifting, which has greatly sped his workflow.

I didn’t know Jack was in surgery and I’m glad it went well. The Buckley’s are family in Boston and they’re super nice. Sri Lanka is so exotic to them and it’s funny. Apparently Tracy’s family in Chicago got a puppy as well. I don’t know of the dog status of the rest of my friends, but I miss them.
