Archibald Wiggly is an awesome name.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Archibald Wiggly is an awesome name.
Some celebrity should name her child that.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
Isn't she getting big? And yeah, the ear is pretty much killer cuteness. I don't think it is ever going up, and I'm good with that.
I love that snow pic. They love it out there right now. Zoe is 7 now, but she acts like Sasha (who is 5 months) in the drifts. It's so fun.

Ann, that's a ferret.
There are (or used to be) many Piggly-Wigglys in rural Minnesota.
I remember getting groceries at "The Pig" as a kid in Beloit, WI.
And walking from the Tulane campus to the Winn-Dixie at St. Charles and Carrollton in college.
Neither of which would qualify as a "bad" neighborhood.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
pretty even tempered
In an extremely high-energy and training-and-attention-needing way. I'm frankly worried.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I know they're supposed to be pretty even tempered, but I'm afraid that when he starts to get big fast, they won't have spent cute puppy time on dicipline and he'll go the way of Indy (the whippet).
They're very sweet and very strong willed. You have to put serious training time into weineramers (also almost certainly misspelled) or they sweetly walk all over you. My neighbors has one and it took them two years of concerted, consistant effort to keep it from jumping on people. Yeah, it was just jumping to lick and cuddle, but that's still a large dog for people jumping purposes.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Ugh. That's the downside of all training... the consistency and the concerted effort. Because honestly, sometimes it is cute and you want to acknolwedge and run with the cuteness, not the blatant irritation.
This is why, our dogs get on the bed with us, even if it is irritating at times. Because, sometimes it is cute adn we like it.

t looks over at puppy curled up so cutely on window seat
Yeah. I have issues with this too.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yup. This is why we won't allow ourselves to have a dog yet. We don't have the time to make the effort & be consistent. Dammit.

My eldest dog, Mac is definitely the snow dog. She used to love rooting through the snow with her snout. She was very white when she was younger and would literally disappear in the snow.
Sam's a shepherd mix but he dislikes the cold because of his hip dysplasia and arthritis.
