He's still here.  Apparently his late owner's family didn't even know about
him and doesn't want him anyway.  I talked to Walt's employer, he'd been
wondering where the dog went, but he doesn't really want him either.  So far
as everybody involved is concerned the dog is mine.

Gotta get him scheduled to be neutered and chipped next spring.  I didn't want
to spend any money on him (other than for food) until his ownership could be
clarified.
