All kinds of ~ma, sumi. That's incredibly stressful.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

[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.

Used to really like it, but ate so much one summer, I don't really know if I could face it again(maybe because it was a hard summer? Maybe I've just blamed the liver all this time.)

Sumi, so much ~ma headed your way.
Hil, I hope things get easier with Buffy soon.
I'm feeling on the edge of an anxiety attack. Stupid hormones.

I'm still not 100% sure that I'm keeping her. She's a foster now, and if it's not working out, then I can bring her back to the shelter and they can find another home for her. I'm just getting really stressed out and anxious here, and it's really not good for me to be anxious like this.
Aw, hon. That's tough. How much of the stress is around the housebreaking issue? If that's most of it, I would encourage you to give it a bit more time because she really will get it and life will get a lot easier. Outside of that, as she gets more comfortable, it's likely you will too. But it's not for everybody, or every dog is not right for every situation. There's a reason they do foster-to-adopt situations. I know you've been through a bit of a roller coaster and I'm sure that's not helping, but I'm sure you will figure out what is right for you.

Hopefully you'll get to the lovey-dovey part that makes the other worthwhile.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm going to bring her back. I just can't handle this level of stress. I guess that dog-owning, or at least dog-owning by myself, isn't for me. I just called the volunteer I've been working with at the shelter, and she's going to see if I can bring her back tonight.

Sorry Hil. At least you know. Want to try a cat?

I'm allergic. A cat would be easier -- a lot less worry about leaving it home alone -- but I know I don't vacuum and everything often enough for that to work.
