Hello dear readers! Boy do I have a major treat for you today. Rather than a traditional B.O.W., I'd like to introduce you to the newest follower of The NovelTease: Waldo (as in Ralph)! Bow Wow is right!!!
Waldo's namesake, Mr. Emerson...do you see the resemblance?
In honor of Waldo, I thought I'd feature a helpful handbook that Vince and I have referenced a lot these last couple weeks as we got our house--and our heads--ready for the little guy: The Everything New Puppy Book, by Carlo De Vito. With surprising insights on everything from how many syllables your dog's name should have (two or three) to how to get through that infamous "big cry" on the first night (he suggests putting some rice in a tube sock and microwaving it; we did this and Waldo made it from 10:30pm to 5:00am without a single whimper!!), this straightforward guide has already proved to be a big help! My guess is that this is one B.O.W. that will stick around for a lot longer than just one week!
For my sign-off today, I'd like to leave you with a wonderful quote from Waldo the elder, words of wisdom that I can already tell are embodied by in our sweet little puppy:
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely..."
