I Am Not Stealing This Cute Puppy

I've learned something this week: everything is more fun when you do it with a puppy beside you. There are probably famous quotes from famous dog-loving people that would confirm this. At least one of them probably mentions smoking a pipe, and I'm sure several of them also discuss the joys of reading.

There is something about having a puppy sitting in my lap while I am reading a book that makes me think of pipes and cups of tea. Not that I have ever smoked a pipe. I do love a good cup of tea, though.

Puppies also make good writing companions, until they try to chew on the laptop cord. 

We are visiting my friend Lee this week, and her family has a new puppy.

I am going to have to check Katarina's suitcase to make sure she doesn't have a stowaway when we leave.

Or maybe not.

Is "cuteness of puppy" a mitigating circumstance that will get your dog theft sentence reduced? Because I might not check that suitcase very carefully if it is.
