I came this close to getting a pup during the weekend at the San Francisco SPCA. This two-month-old cutie looked exactly like a baby Coda and, eerily, had the same name as my mom. For once, I made the mature decision to hold off until a more appropriate time, which is probably not until June. Still, she was a cutie, but I’m certain a new dog will come into our lives in the same mysterious way that all the others have, and at the right time. I’ll know when it’s time to say yes.
