Good Moring OT & Hair (although it is about noon.) Gypsy did fine on the walk, walked up to store and back through the neighborhoods, she didn't bark back at any of the numerous dogs that barked at her. Walks well on the leash.
She sorta knows "sit", that's about it, so far. She is kinda skitish on the stairs to the second floor, both up and down. She does not know "come" yet, but she will fetch the tennis ball to you.
Well, she is settling in, considering its been less than 24 hours. She did sleep through the night. We've been brushing her, not sure when the last brushing was, but she enjoys it.
All in all, I think we all (her and us and the kitties) will be a cohesive unit afore long. :-)

I've been surfing the internet for good knives, and I've come to the conclusion that we can't depend on having one knife, at a great price, available forever. We have to plan for the long haul. Therefore, I'm looking at different brands of knives that meet the Hobbit Hole standards, are priced right, and are available from many dealers. I'm starting to sound like a purchasing agent.
When it comes time to buy more knives, I'll shop around for the best deal on any of the HHD-approved knives out there. That means that the troops may receive different knives at different times. They'll all meet out standards, though.
In order to do this properly, I've assigned myself the dreary chore of buying one of each knife for evaluation purposes. It's a tough job, bu someone's gotta do it. :) So I have a Camillus Arclite on the way. They have a version costing $4 more, which includes a belt sheath, pocket clip, and other thingies for attaching to web gear, etc. It would be a better deal than the neck-knife-only model.
Another knife I'm getting is the Gerber Parafram II. It looks like a vey good under-$25 (barely) folding lockback.
And CRKT makes (made) a neck-knife called the "Stiff Kiss". As luck would have it, it is no longer in production, but it appears to still be out there among the dealers. It also has the extra pieces to attach the knife to various things.
So we may have two or three kinds of HH knives in the inventory, depending on market conditions. But we'll always have something for the troops.
