Three

In mythology and tradition the number 3 is a pretty significant number. There are 3 blind mice, 3 bears, 3 little pigs, 3 musketeers, 3 prairie provinces, 3 territories, 3 dimensions, the Trinity, 3 bean salad, and who can deny that a 3 day weekend is pretty much 'da bomb'?! Earth is even planet number 3 from the sun (unless they randomly decide to de-planetize Mercury or Venus...you never know...these are uncertain times afterall, we may not be able to afford all 8 planets much longer)!

But what I'll bet you didn't know is that 3 is how many days we have now had IV!
She also peed 3 times on the walk I just took her on...(I think it was her 5th walk of the day...which is 3(+2). )

3 is the number of paws that she lets me wipe dry before she starts thinking that she's had enough of that.

And 3 seconds is about how long it took her to gulp down the cottage cheese, toast, and tiny bit of dog food that she finally ate today (she won't touch her food and keeps doing this weird cough/tiny-bit-of-throw-up thing.) Guess I'll have to make a few phonecalls to people who know more about dogs than I do (if that's you and you're reading this...leave your number!)

3 is the approximate number of people who talked to IV while I walked her. One was a nice lady who said "hi beautiful puppy". One was some old guy who came over to try give me advice on how to train her and to admire her and talk about his old lab he used to have. And the third was a lady who thought maybe IV could meet her little curly haired dog...but IV was so darn excited she couldn't settle down and I think IV's eagerness made the curly haired dog a little nervous. So that friendship ended before it could even start. :)

So as you can see, 3 is an important number for IV today. Yay IV.
