Puppy fever is terrifying and something I am dealing with right now. However, we do travel quite a bit to different festivals over the course of the year, so it is the one solid argument that I can hold onto -- we travel too much to have a dog at this time. But eventually, we will slow our pace of travel and I will need a new excuse, but that day is not today.

Shame about the US losing to the Germans in ice hockey, I didn't see that coming either. But it is almost time to shift attention to the Women's World Cup, which is being played on your former home continent of Australia. Hopefully, our US women's team will continue to prove its dominance in the sport and bring home our 5th trophy!
