I visited my old pal Devicer yesterday and got to meet his new puppy, who is an eight week-old Great Dane. He is a terrific dog, and completely adorable. It's also nice to be able to claim to have been able to carry around a Great Dane. We were trying to estimate when this would no longer be possible, and the answer is clearly soon, as I think he gained about a pound during my visit.
