The answer to the metapuzzle is a six-word phrase, and what I hope I have been doing in the recent past.

Note that the original puzzle has been updated because one clue had an error. (The error was mine, not Kate's!) No affect on the meta other than to avoid any possible confusion.

[Edit: Layla is my son's dog, making me a granddogdad? Had she been mine, she'd be named Liesl.]

Ditto. That is: I very much enjoyed this puzzle. One of Peter G's (and Kate's) best, in my view.

In the spirit ...

Here's Kylo, the Killer Golden Doodle. He's our grand-dog. (No way Lynne and I are adult enough to take proper care of a pooch.) It's tough on us that Kylo lives eight hours away. Worse, due to COVID-19, we haven't been able to see him in the doggie flesh since early March. :(

Sorry about the sideways photo of Kylo, the Killer Golden Doodle. Someday I'll figure out this forum's mechanics.

Are you guys stealing photos from The World's Cutest Dogs Calendar, or are these actually your dog babies? They are all so freakin' cute!
