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.

I have, in fact, made my own wrinkle releaser after hearing about Trudy's Mom's success at homebrew

What ratios of water to fabric softener do you use?

perspicacious

I had to look this up, so have learned a new word today.

{{meara}} {{Cindy}} Feel better. Now, please.

Jessica, that hair cut would rock on you.

I had an appointment with a chiropractor this morning, first consultation type thing. The office is all decked out as Madame Pomfrey's Infirmary for today's Harry Potter festival thingy. I got checked out by Madame Pomfrey!

Screw bookmarks, that's going on my hard drive, along with this one, and both are being printed out and taken to the salon with me.

Now I just have to decide whether I want to go into the city (I usually get my hair cut near my office), or find someone new in my neighborhood. My regular place isn't so fantastic that I'd feel bad cheating on them, but finding a new person is always a bit of a crap shoot.

I've always gotten my hair cut by my sister, who is a hairdresser. Except now she's moving out of the area, and I have to find someone new to cut my hair.

I have no idea how much I should pay for a haircut.

Oh, I like that really short one, too, Jess.

Thanks, Chi, -t, Jess, and everyone. Right now, I'm feeling okay, which is weird, but I'll take it. Right now, I feel good enough, that I feel badly dh stayed home. I may just eat something and go to bed though, rather than pressing my luck.

along with this one,

I recognize that one!

I like the first one more for you though.

I like the first one more for you though.

I do too, but my hair's already shorter than the picture, so it's not 100% doable. My plan is to bring in both and say "#1 is closer to what I want, but #2 is closer to what my hair will actually DO. Find a happy medium and make me pretty."
