Weekly Update 05/09/26 – 05/15/26 (New Puppy Arrival, Kennel Cough Quarantine, Claude AI at Work)
Well, the big news this week has all been around the arrival of the new puppy. I do not yet know the puppy’s name, as Dawn likes to give her dogs “special names,” like Boudica, Gurta, and Bouraged, and I cannot promise I will either remember or spell the name of this dog correctly.
We picked the puppy up on 05/10 in The Dalles and
drove her home to Vancouver. The puppy is what Dawn calls “dapple,” which
apparently means having dappled spots on her coat. She is a nice little puppy
and very affectionate. This brings the number of dogs we have up to seven, I
think, not including the two puppies from Carolyn, who are now about four weeks
old and growing fast.
Unfortunately, on the evening of the 10th, Dawn
noticed that the new little puppy was coughing a lot. It looks like the poor
little thing has kennel cough, a highly contagious condition. So now we have
the dogs broken up around the house and are quarantining the new little girl.
Otherwise, it was a normal week of going to work
and just living my life.
At work, I now have access to Anthropic’s Claude,
which is a new AI tool for me.
