There is now a dog in the Hammett household! We are now the proud owners of a 3 year old male beagle, born in May of 2005. He is very well behaved, house trained and pretty much awesome. He goes by the name “Gambit” which is a name for a chess move, we are going to try to change it to “Bandit” because of how close the two names are. He answers to Bandit just fine though. He came from a family in our church who could no longer keep him for various reasons. This was a big step for my mother who generally doesn’t like dogs, but she seems to like Bandit just fine.
