Freighty Cat has a Puppy!

We've been a bit quiet lately here at Freighty Cat, and it's this guy's fault.

Many of you have met him, but for those who haven't, this is Bosco - the Bottomless Pit(bull):

barely a week after we found him

Now, whether he's indeed a pit bull is up for debate. The vet says we won't know how big he's going to get or what breeds he might be until he's fully grown. So far, Great Dane mix has been guessed with alarming frequency.

He turned up on the doorstep of a metal shop I was working at on the east side in the shopping cart of some guy trying to sell a VCR. After we turned him down on the electronics, and the subsequently offered VHS tapes, he muttered "How about a puppy?" on his way out of the parking lot. Not having seen a dog in the shopping cart, I opened the gate and took a look in his cart. There was a VCR and a black plastic garbage bag. I opened the bag, moved some trash out of the way, and there was soon-to-be-dubbed-Bosco in a ray of light. He was probably only two or three months old.

It's a terrible beginning to a wonderful story - he's turning out to be the greatest dog on the planet!

Coming soon - a blog post about our bike tour with this little guy. Meanwhile, the business end of Freighty Cat keeps chugging along, if slightly behind schedule. We are waiting on one more key piece of equipment, then production can begin. In the meantime, we have a puppy to distract us.
