A house, a mortgage, two kids, and .. a dog.

Yes, we finally completed the picture by adding a member of the canine family. His name is Sumsum (= "sesame" in Hebrew), he is one year old, and we got him from a couple of friends who found him wondering the streets of Givatayim. We're not sure what breed he is. Looking like a mix of a dachshund and a rat, he's docile, quiet and friendly. The only time he gave me trouble was when he discovered an open door, and bulleted out without a warning. Turns out he's also very fast, and almost impossible to catch.
Today we're going to have him neutered (ouch!) and implant a chip under his skin, for ID purposes. Hope he comes out of it in one piece. Holding my fingers crossed for you, little bugger :)

Update: The neutering is postponed.
