Speaking of dogs and domains: my personal domain is gipgipgip.com, named after my first dog (wait for it) Gip. Gip was a Siberian mix. When hemangiosarcoma took her, the thought of "replacing" her felt obscene, but in time, around 6 weeks later, what let me adopt another dog was the awareness that my abstaining out of some sense of loyalty to Gip was just keeping some dog in a shelter and keeping me with a big hole in my life. So on January 7th, 2011 – which in a few hours will be 11 years – I adopted Mollie Poblano. Mollie, now 12, is a Dalmatian mix, which fascinates children, who frighten her.
