Baby Sitting?

Wendy walks in with a pet carrier -- dumps out a "dog", or what she claims is a dog. Says it's a Shih-Tzu puppy, about eight weeks old, that just came off a plane from Idaho. The claim is that it needs to be quarantined for a couple of weeks away from the puppies at the kennels where Wendy works.

I figure it is really some sort of mutant rodent, seeing as it is no bigger than Chi-Chi, our old Chinchillla. It's about ankle high to Pepper, who wants to snarf it down like a small snack -- but she knows she is not allowed to. Cory, Teresa's dog, is curious enough about the new visitor as to get him to come within six feet of 'Big Scary Man'.
