The puppies are here!

Puppy brother and sister have arrived.  There were three but one was DOA.  And now that I see two healthy mango seeds of indeterminate gender, I can finally admit that Puppy is way sicker than I have admitted to you or to me.


Okay, the truth is, Puppy died some time ago and has simply been rotting in her red solo cup.  It's high time she was given a proper burial.

I shall plant her siblings and I shall call them Puppy.  Because I don't speak Mango, I can't tell you what their real names are.  We shall call them Puppy and...I don't know.  I have to come up with a good name for the second one.  I'm taking them home to plant in the planter I have waiting for them.  It's a clay pig.  So Puppy and...um... Arya (YES, Arya!!!!!) will share a home for a while.

I like the name Arya.  Arya is one of the great survivors of the Stark clan.  She's tough, smart, and persistant.  I think those are good things for a mango tree in this hostile world, don't you?
