We've got a puppy!

announced the two kids from upstairs. 'Yeah, I noticed,' I said unenthusiastically. It had greeted me on arrival by trying to lick me and put its dirty paws on my pants. I have two pairs of pants and any creature that comes in the way of delaying washing them is a sworn enemy. 'Adu pairu Daamy.' (Its name is Daamy). Haha that's how they pronounce Tommy in Tamilnadu :-)
