I inadvertently reversed their names from their personalities: since Calvin gives life to Hobbes, I named Papa Calvin and the puppy Hobbes. I should have reversed those.
Papa is a model dog; I couldn't ask anything more from a dog (well, except for his selective outdoor deafness but that's a common genetic defect in dogs of all types). Hobbes, being a puppy, has been a whirlwind of mischief. He's adorable and sweet and waaaay too smart to be a cocker spaniel; I'm eagerly planning to get us into agility together. They're remarkably good dogs and I'm very lucky; many, many people wanted one of the litter and everyone who met Calvin wanted him (he's an exceptional dog) but because I'd worked in rescue over a decade ago with the woman running this particular rescue, I was given the opportunity to adopt both boys.
That's EXACTLY what I do! I collect all sorts of gorgeous little gems of icons in a folder. Since I make icons, I pretentiously call it Inspiration -- and I DO use it when I'm stuck on text to get myself out of ruts -- but really it's my Happiness Horde. I look at it from time to time to enjoy the art, remind myself of a good fandom moment, a good story, a ridiculously pretty face...whatever. I think I was a dragon in a former life.
