Today I went to Stacey's house. This is her (and Bob's) 6 month old puppy Arlo.

Stacey: I'm worried about leaving him over Thanksgiving. Last time we brought him to 'that place' he played with the other dogs so much he made himself sick.

Stacey is from Boston so she will be there for the upcoming holiday and has been nice enough to invite me. She has mentioned it will be 'insane' more than a few times. I have yet to meet someone who describes their family functions as 'sane.'
