conulybut over the past few months she has become decidedly friendly towards other dogs. Today she dragged me across the street to greet a new labrador mix puppy. It's... taking some getting used to, but I think I like her new attitude.
I'm going to take all the credit.

But imho the WHO screwed up, because imho the original strain should be called alpha. The D614G variant that succeeded and replaced the original strain in circulation should be called beta. Then the currently existing variants should follow (so B.1.1.7 should be gamma, B.1.351 should be delta, P.1 should be epsilon, and B.1.617 should be zeta). Oh well. Yay neutral nomenclature!
