permission is gotten… this is Xavier. He’s huge (eight months old and taller than my knee already), sweet, and dumb as a post. Likes: eating garbage, barking at crows, trying to cadge people-food. Dislikes: some tall guys, wind-blown paper bags, not being allowed to charge across the road to play with other dogs. I love him dearly despite him not actually being mine.

mine likes eating garbage as well… but that’s because he’s a former street urchin. Xavier looks like a very good boio
