[Leica] PRIVATE: Re. More new Hoppy Family pics

[pklein at 2alpha.net (Peter Klein)]

Hoppy:  I've been somewhat lax about commenting on pictures lately--lots of 
stuff going on in my life, blah blah blah.

I have to say that "Summer Mina" gave me the same feeling that several 
other pictures of her have--that if you don't watch yourself, she will be 
Queen of the Entire Pacific Region before she is 30.  The daughter some 
friends of ours had that same look at that age--precocious 
perspicacity.  She Understands It All, and is Quite Amused.  She also 
really has a lot of your father in her features.

And your son is well on his way to being a matinee idol.  The girls had 
better watch out in a few years.

I am insanely jealous of your sunshine, as this is our darkest 
period.  Last night it was foggy, and we could feel the water in our breath 
as we walked.

On another front, I recently brought up the subject of getting another dog, 
and Katya is now sounding amenable.  She is actually fairly keen on a 
Border Terrier, which she thinks is an ideal size for our early middle age 
(ahem!).  So I've been on websites from the USA to the UK, contacted a 
former breeder who lives here in town, and we'll probably see her this 
weekend.  She's got three Borders, and knows the breeders in Washington who 
have signed the Code of Ethics (people who won't breed the doggie 
equivalent of the banjo player from "Deliverance," I guess).

So, Katya will meet some Borders socially, and maybe there are 
possibilities. . .
