Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
The potential (Buffy flashback, like whoa) is on his way and should arrive in about a half hour.
I've set up places to go and people to sniff and am hoping we get time for a brief nap. I need to know if he snores.
It feels sort of like a doggy blind date.
Wish us both calm and good choices.
::eep::
PS: I'd appreciate some release-of-guilt ~ma, if anybody has any laying about. It's only been two months...forever, and no time at all.
The pooch has been here for a couple of hours and I am torn so badly, I don't know what to do with myself.
Photos: He's a Mastif-Basset with a huge head and the sweetest eyes.
I can certainly manage any behavioral stuff. He's super, super sweet. Just a big lovebug. He's been good with all the dogs and people on the street.
He is currently sacked out, quietly snoozing.
So sweet.
There are problems, though, that I think means we won't work out. Nothing behavioral...he's a doll baby.
Structurally, however, it's a real problem. The last time I saw a dog with conformation this bad, he had to have both of his front legs broken and realigned.
I can't imagine him having to climb up and down my many stairs for the rest of his life.
Also. And this sounds absolutely horrible, even to me...he drools a LOT. When I was introducing him to people, they cooed over how adorable he is, but as soon as they touched his head, they kind of recoiled with a 'yuck.' I wear a lot of black...slobber really shows up.
His energy is actually too calm. He doesn't walk quickly and would not be up to doing demonstrations in workshops, I don't think.
Ugh. This is heartbreaking.
eta: One terrifically good piece of news is that I really am ready to have a dog again. It felt so good to be on the street with him, feeding him and just being in his presence.
David said it best, I really need a dog to be happy.
I just wish this little guy was the one.
Sweet journey to my baby, Mickey, today. I had to put him to sleep this afternoon. I miss him like crazy and it hurts more than I thought. I feel like I can barely breathe.

Hi! So the cat's out of the bag a little already, but I wanted to share that M & I got married yesterday, with Lee officiating.
