Speaking of Puppy Gone Missing

Seeing the picture of Puppy on the blog has given me pause everytime I've looked at it. It started off as general trepidation, and gradually emerged as a full-blown fear: what if someone -- the wrong someone -- read this blog and saw Puppy and went on eBay and got one (like I did for Backup Puppies #1 and #2) and used it to tempt my beloved daughter? Would she really resist that someone, particularly at this age when she's too young for talk of Stranger Danger and will say Hi to anyone, whether they're looking her way or not?

Unlikely, but it could happen. Seemed like the wrong chance to take, so instead you now have a pic of Clifford, a character from PBS to whom we've not yet been introduced. But you get the idea.
