I'm sorry, Shir. That's so hard.
Here is Oz at the drive-thru [link]
Poor, Oz, he's trembling with antici....Say it!...pation.
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!
'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Separating happy and sad dog posts, smonster, I'd agree with Bonny that Frankie looks like a pit mix; in my experience pits and their mixes are utter sweethearts and should be trained and socialized as appropriate for their personalities needs (in other words, like any other dog) but not for a minute feared or shunned just because they have big brindly bull heads. Still, it's worth being aware that there will be people out there who will be dumbasses out of breed prejudice, which may very well be why the shelter has him labeled as a boxer mix.
I'm not sure if you know it, but Pam of Pam's House Blend has turned into a fierce pit advocate and anti-breed-prejudice type since adopting one a year or so ago from the Wake Co. Shelter. You can probably find some of her writing on the subject at the Blend; we don't have any crazy breed ban laws around here, thank doG, but she'd be up on the dirt if there were any threats of same. (aside from being generally awesome, of course.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Here you can hear him cry for beer. [link] Oz LOVES beer. It is his favorite thing evar! We have no idea where he got the idea that he. must. have. the. beer. because we didn't just start off giving it to him. Nevertheless...

Around here, we get this with pretty much all breeds...seriously, people shrieking and cringing from previous bad experiences. Le sigh. The exact OPPOSITE of the behavior that keeps people safe.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Shir, I'm so sorry.

Thanks to everyone for their wise words. I feel better. Lisah's friends have also been a great help.
amych, Pam is totally awesomesauce. Will check out what she has to say.
bonny, I haven't gotten anything from you. I'll check my spam folder later.
And now I'm off to the pet store to buy treats and a couple of toys!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
{{{Shir}}} I'm so sorry for your loss.
We always had doxies when I was growing up. My parents still have them. Love those little guys like crazy!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry Shir.
