Poppy got a furry pink pig for her 5th birthday (and yes, we know her birthdate; that info came along with her from the East Valley Animal Shelter).

The big news is that we went to the East Valley Animal Shelter over the weekend and, with the considerable help of Valentine's weekend discounts, came home with a dog for the cost of the license.
Her name is Poppy (yes, we picked it), and she's a 3-year-old, already-spayed 15-pound Chihuahua mix. We think there's some Jack Russell terrier in there, since she's fairly curious and has been using her nose and paws to open doors in the house.
Of course, after leaving the shelter only $17 poorer, with dog in hand (holding even a 15-pound dog in front of you for an hour or more can really mess up your upper back, I'll tell you), we hit both Petco and Target, which got the rest of our money.
Poppy has been doing fairly well. She's housebroken, loves that expensive Dick Van Patten dog food and this morning sneaked onto the couch when I wasn't looking.
