All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Because books.
Your own good health is vital to a healthy pregnancy, and that very, very definitely includes mental health.
Very, very true. And if you're struggling now, I can say that post-partum depression could be a future issue (it was for me, with my last two pregnancies, and after Sara's birth is when I finally went on ADs), so it's really better to find something now and regulate the dose.
Also, many vibes, sj. I know how much you want this.

The person from the dog rescue place is coming to do a home visit tomorrow. I have no idea what she's supposed to be looking for. Anybody know?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Normal cleanliness of the home, and that your home is an adequate size for the type of dog you want.
A fenced-in back yard or a safe neighborhood for walks to go outside for bathroom breaks.
Making sure that you aren't a puppy-mill breeder or other type of bad owner.
Just seeing where s/he would sleep, eat, your plans for care, and generally if you're willing to have a home visit to get the dog.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Thinking of you, sj.
Hil, I assume they are making sure you aren't Cruella de Vil. And you did a good thing trying to help that woman. Good person!

Hil, what Strix said. I've done these before and you are basically looking for: not a horder; not a breeder; not a meth lab, not giving off serial killer vibes. Basically reasonably normalish environment and willingness to have them check it out.
ETA: hoarder. I have no idea where they fall vis a vis hordes.
ETAA: Though I suppose if you hoard dogs you also have a horde. A very cute and wiggly horde!

Hmm. Reasonably clean but not sparkling, and little apartment for little dog.
A fenced-in back yard or a safe neighborhood for walks to go outside for bathroom breaks.
Safe neighborhood, and there is a fenced-in area in the back yard, but it's kind of a pain to get there.

Not a hoarder, not a breeder, and I don't think I give of serial killer vibes.

Well, I can point at a spot in the kitchen and say, "I'll put her bowls there," and point at a spot in the living room and say, "I'll put a dog bed there."

Best of luck, Hil!

For once, fixing the $35,000 piece of gear wasn't difficult at all. The hardest part was finding the itty bitty screw that dropped on the black stage. Took about 5 minutes to find it. Where was it? Stuck in the treads of my shoe!
