Tehran at dusk from my Mother's building.
Yes, I found a home for the puppy. It was not too difficult because most people are willing to help. I found three homes for him. All in the Caspian Sea region where people are kind to dogs and have many of them in their properties. It was a lot of work to finally get him to the adopted home since Ostaad Elahi's glassblowing workshop is in the southern most tip of Tehran and the adopted owners are visiting Aghdas's cousin who lives in the northern most point of Tehran.

This morning, I went to observ Ostaad Finastian and interview him. I was also able to interview two of his students, a woman and a man. It was funny, because Ostaad Finastian wanted to hear what he had said at the interview and what his students had said, so I gave him my digital recorder and he held it to his ear and listened as he instructed the students! It was pretty loud with the hammering in the room but he was able to listen to most of the interview. I don't get the sense that he was worried about what they had said, he was interested in hearing an interview. He was also teasing the two students that he was listening to what they said about him.
I went home, called Ebrahim and arranged to pick him up with Mom's car at the same spot I picked him up last time. Mom went to her bridge (card game) party. At three in the afternoon, I took Mom's car, got Ebrahim who took over the driving, went to pick up my train ticket for my trip to Zanjan tomorrow, and then went to Ostaad Elahi's workshop. We arranged old newspapers on the back seat and I had to pick up the puppy and put him in the car. He is a very shy, timid dog. He is always apprehensive about what might happen.

It was a long drive and I sat in the back with my Puppy. He was so well behaved. Did not bark or wimmper. We arrived at the house and brought him in. Very nice gentleman, Aghdas's cousin. He has three dogs of his own. Puppy drooled a bit in the car and made me very wet, but what a nice dog.
I dropped off Ebrahim at the spot where he catches the bus back home and drove the remaining of the way back, parked Mom's car and joined her at her friend's house where they were playing bridge (in one of the towers in Mom's compound).
