[does he find it a little odd that someone thought that a dog was housewarming type material? yes. why yes he does. houseplants, sure. gift baskets with pears and moose munch? why not. he'd even understand awful things like ambrosia salad. of course, this is all based on things he's seen on tv. housewarming presents in his neighborhood usually weren't as common. and if he happened to see it happen, it was probably a homecooked casserole.]

That's not really housewarming material, but okay. Atticus is cute. Any idea where he got him? I can't imagine that puppy stores are a thing here.
