Or should that be YOMV?

tv obsessed hipsters!

Hey Laga, I finally logged into OKcupid. Wow, they have changed things around. I thought there was a thing where you could click "I know them" and write a blurb or something. I dunno. It's been awhile. Anyhow, I sent you a wink ;)

Laga, she probably thought it was totally adorable. Here's to hoping!

So, I've been e-mailing with a potential roommate from Italy, who's doing graduate work through Harvard at the VA hospital near me. I just asked her how she feels about dogs. This was her response, "it depends on the dog: I prefer the calm and discreet dogs to those noisy ones and that want always to play."

I know I love my dog to an obsessive level, but does that ping anyone else as maybe not a good plan? I mean, Toto is relatively quiet except for a few play times and when someone comes to the door. But, I'm nervous now to continue with the process.

That reads to me as someone who is basically annoyed by dogs, I have to say.

Ok. Good to know it's not just me. I kind of feel like I'm already changing his environment an awful lot. I don't want him to feel unwanted by someone in his own home.

vw, that's a red flag. Dogs are not discreet creatures.

I'd say that she doesn't necessarily dislike dogs or would dislike Toto. I think she maybe doesn't like dogs that bark a lot or jump up on you. I'm not too fond of those dog behaviors either and I love dogs!

I would just explain what Toto's like and see if that's something she is okay with. She won't have a chance to meet him/you before making the commitment to move in I take it?

I wish we had a local Grilled Cheese Invitational. It's Wisconsin! We have lots of CHEESE!

What lisah said. I love dogs and have always had one or more in my life, but I don't have any use for obnoxious dogs. It is likely that they would need to meet each other to know how it was going to work. Is that possible?

Oh that sounds glorious, Cash. Mmmmmmmm cheeeeeeese.
