Meet Nico. She's an Australian kelpie that belongs to Drew's roommate, Glen.

Now say good-bye to Nico. Last week Glen decided to move out and find his own place. Which means no more days starting with Nico nosing her way into Drew's bedroom, jumping into bed with us, and giving us kisses. Which is just too depressing to think about.

P.S. The most common type-one cations with a charge of 2+ are Ba, Sr, Ca, Cd, Mg and Zn. I remember that by thinking of a Bass RCA CD magazine. I was incredibly pleased with myself after I came up with that one.
