Penelope spends her days writing her dissertation, procrastinating on said dissertation, feeling appropriate Catholic-raised guilt about procrastinating on her dissertation, and tooling around Washington, DC to avoid that guilt. Penelope and her husband Monty live in a quiet neighborhood in Northwest Washington with a good-natured but leaky lab mix.

    You forgot to add “undemonstrative” to the description of your pooch.
    As in, “a good-natured but leaky and undemonstrative lab mix”.
    I think it’s important that our readers know the truth.

    Now now. Brandine demonstrates her affection quietly. With dignity! For example, she likes to bring toys, two at a time, when she’s pleased to see someone. She’s just not very tactile I guess….you think it’s cuz we point and laugh whenever she tries to cuddle?
