Vibing for Bitch health...though not too much or we won't have anything to talk about. Mom is having a haircut this morning, after giving up the thought of long hair forever and realizing she can't cut her own.

I met a guy named "Sir" once. I thought that was super-weird. Apparently his dad was in the military--dunno if that had something to do with it. But--calling your kid "Sir"??

during our moving process we dealt with a contractor that was named Joseph Guy. Joe Guy! It, er, amused me at the time.

Aw, man, feel better meara and Cindy!

Health vibes for meara and Cindy!

I'm trying to find a picture of the hairstyle I want, and it's driving me bonkers. I found one once, two cuts ago, that was perfect, but I can't remember what site it was from.

In college, I had two goldfish named Sushi and Sashimi. Favorite fish ever was named Sir Oliver Microfiche (he was a minnow rescued from my junior-high lab and he lived a long and happy life in a mayonnaise-jar pseudo-pond.)

Once my work situation gets stabilized, I'm hoping to get a dog. Something little, that the cat can lord over.

Maidengurl, I am given to understand that greyhounds are very laid back. If they can get in one good run a day - at an off leash dog park, say - they'll spend the rest of their time happily lazing about and leaning against people getting their heads scratched. I assume the smaller racing dogs are similar.

(I'm starting to think my keyboard needs cleaning)

Are (for the most part) not nearly so biddable as a lab, golden or any of the other 4 retrievers.

Ah, good to know. I keep seeing them lumped in with the various retrievers, only smaller, but I'm still in the researching stage.

she needs something a little more laid back.

Maybe she could adopt an older (3+) dog from the pound or a breed rescue group that seems on the calm side? My favorite dog ever was a lab/shepherd mix that ran me off my feet when it was younger. But after ~3-4 years she calmed way down. Still, the puppy stage is way cute.

ETA: here's a link to a dog breed selection form. [link]

ETAA: the form came up with spaniels and retrievers for me, which fits in with what I know about myself.

Dude, Google image search is the fucking BOMB. "Short hair" turned up this (which was the EXACT picture I was looking for) on the first page. All hail the Great Google.

Oh, Jessica, I love that. Now mark your post, and put a label on your bookmark, for the future.

Hail Google!

I'm very suggestible.
