You guys? Walt is now a fully-integrated member of society. He had his official physical check-up at Malibu Coast Animal Hospital today with none other than Dean Graulich, Max's (he preceded this blog) and Jake's and Maisie's vet, and who we've known for about a zillion years. (You should see the cool aquarium in the waiting room, filled with aurelia aurita, tiny moon jellyfish.)

Walt not only has all of his shots now, he has a rabies certificate with which we can get him his LA County license. See? Fully integrated.

Here's Walt at the start of what we hope will be a long friendship with Dr. Dean:

And here's Walt last night, taking his neighbor, Bernie, for a little stroll. (I wish you could have seen the look of relief on Maisie's face that it was Bernie at the end of that leash.)

Oh Walt...
