I would like to take a moment to congradulate the couple-in-law, Chris and Kate, on their new baby boy: Chowda.

Chowda is a mix of Staffordshire terrier and pointer, according to the adoption folks.
All I know is he’s a handsome devil, and I can’t wait to see him in September.
That sweet pooch’s name reminds me of the conflagration that erupted on the Simpsons when Mayor Quimby’s nephew had beef with the French waiter who refused to pronounce “Chowda” properly. Classic.
“Say it Frenchie, Chowdaaa, Chowdaaaa!”
