My daughter has been bugging me ever since we left Kashmir, and had to give away our dog ((Her name was Lady and she was a German Shepherd.)), to get another pet. I told her that once we got settled in to Penang we would talk about it. How is that for parental non-committal? Of course, she has not let me forget the “we will talk about it” part. We have been talking about it. I have talked about a monitor lizard, an iguana, she keeps talking about a dog or a cat or even a sugar glider of all things. So we settled, finally, on a kitten a friend found. I will admit it was cute. Did you catch that, “was”?
