The new member of the family had some outdoors fun today. She was named in homage to Thomas Merton's dream of a black mother who had an ugly and severe face yet a great warmth came from her, he felt deep gratitude and "Then we danced a little together, I and my black mother." I don't consider the puppy ugly, but the fact that she's black reminded me of such text.
