Oh, Shir, I'm sorry.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Weren't they historically bred for badger-hunting? Gotta be as mean as the badgers. I understand they are fiercely defensive of the people they consider theirs. Which is both sort of endearing, and very problematic from a behavioral point of view.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
My best friend's pit mix was bullied by her cats. The dog even learned how to swat when annoyed rather than growl. The one mouse he caught was pile-drivered to death when he pounced on it rather than snapping it up. Poor, confused Max. . .

Oh Shir, I'm so sorry. Peace to Lou, and gentle comfort to his people.
Fred, I forgot to send healing thoughts to Max, and strength and coping ones to his humans.

Compassionately intolerant
They were both incredibly fearful. And stubborn.
I was having a chat yesterday with a young couple who recently adopted an older purebred Dachshund who has fear aggression like whoa.
I must confess, I gave them a TON of free advice in the sincere hope that I could help them from a distance to the degree that they would not actually call me. I love getting paid, but, yeah.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Shir, I'm so sorry about Lou. Your family gave him a great life.
The one mouse he caught was pile-drivered to death when he pounced on it rather than snapping it up.
Ahahaha!!!

Oh Shir. Blessings for a peaceful, not TOO sad, transition on all Lou's people.
From what you have said, he seems to have had a full lifetime of love and great care. No doggy could ask for more.
Extra warm thoughts for your dad, who didn't want to let him go.
So, very sorry for your loss.

Our wings are not tired.
So sorry, Shir.
