We've Got A New Pug and Her Name Is Faith

Hi, I'm Faith!

We have officially lost our minds.  We have a new pug.  Over the past weekend, I was visiting my parents when we got "the call" from the breeder: Serendipity's new little sister was ready for pick up.  This time around we had already chosen a name: Faith.  A couple of days later, I was back in Vancouver introducing Serendipity to Faith.  (Snicker.)  But, let me back up a little bit and fill you in on how this all came to be.

Almost three years ago, we got a puppy.  We named her Serendipity and everything was awesome.  She was healthy, excited, happy, cute, and full of beans.  Unfortunately, about five months later, she got sick.  It was horrible and stressful and it took major surgery to correct her illness.  (You can read more about that here.)  She is now almost three years old and pulled through with flying bells, whistles, and other things that may fly if you do something amazing without too many problems.  She is still cute, happy, and full of beans. 

So, what happened for us to get a new pug?  The breeder called us up about a year after Serendipity's surgery and commented that if we wanted another pug, she would provide us one for free.  We instantly jumped at the chance to have another pug.  A year went by and now we have another cute little puggy.

I will take a few more pictures and some video in the next couple of days and give you an update on her cuteness.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.

I do a little traveling here and there for technology conferences and what not. Here are the ones I am going to next or have attended recently.
