I met up with my parents this morning and spent the afternoon with them and my cousin, Karen. We played cards (I won $2.00!!!) then went to dinner at this Italian restaurant in East Boston that we used to go to every Christmas Eve when I was a kid. They now have Keno so we all played a little. I won two more dollars, my parents&nbsp;won a few bucks&#8230;and my cousin came away with $267.00. It&#8217;s just not fair.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>But, I was pleasantly surprised when we got home and I found that Matt brought me my birthday present a month and a half early!<\/P><br \/>\n<P><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cyber.law.harvard.edu\/blogs\/static\/snarl\/puppy4.jpg\" height=\"307\" width=\"384\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><\/P><br \/>\n<P>This is our new Shih Tzu, Dusty! I&#8217;m terrible at coming up with names (my first suggestions were Hedwig, Butch, Francis or Sunshine). But after a while, Matt said &#8220;How about Dusty?&#8221; (after Dusty Springfield &#8211; the lesbian singer of &#8220;Son of a Preacher Man&#8221;). I liked it &#8211; but not for that reason. I liked it because&nbsp;she keeps running under furniture and collecting dust-bunnies like a Swiffer. Matt bought her a doggy bed &#8211; but she seems to prefer sleeping in one of Matt&#8217;s clogs. I hope she gets smarter.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>As any new proud parent &#8211; here are more pix.
