Introducing...

Has there been some sort of shift in the universe? What's going on??? The mail brought an interesting--albeit perplexing--packet yesterday. Apparently, little diaper-breath, pee boy has been recognized by the American Kennel Club!!! WHA....??? That's right, the AKC, in its infinite wisdom, has bestowed upon little Tuchuck a PAL number (formerly ILP). They're agreeing that he's a Border Collie, and the PAL number allows him to participate in AKC performance events without registration papers and a pedigree. Good timing since he just started agility class last week! Will wonders never cease?

Even though little bro doesn't have a paper pedigree, he's the second in a distinguished line of white dogs from that SPCA who have graced our home. And, in honor of Buko--in whose very special pawprints Tuchuck follows--Tuchuck has a special, registration-like name. Ladies and Gentleman, let us introduce to you: Coconut's View of Tuchuck! Watch out!!! :)
