I keep looking at the photos of this dog at the local shelter and thinking that I should adopt him. But I know that this is really not the best time for me to have anything new in my life, and I don't really know much about taking care of dogs. But, he's just so cute. He's a chihuahua/dachshund mix. [link]
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's a ridiculously cute dog.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, he is cute, Hil! But yeah, puppies need lots of attention and walks, and right now isn't the best time. He is darling, though. Chihuahuas tend to the highly strung; dachsunds can go either way, depends on temperment and training -- I known some mellow dascsies, and some purely evil-tempered ones.
In dog-related news, I have finally come to terms with the dog being Our Dog. I am clearly the pack leader and his alpha, and I have trained him to sit when receiving food, and on command. He is better at walking, and I am training him out of his lunging at food possessiveness that got a child snapped in the face a few years ago.
He's a good dog; just his previous owner knew anything about training dogs properly. We will get his balls chopped off, too, when we have some spare money. It should have been done years ago -- he's about 8 -- but someone had some bizarre idea about breeding him. @@
His cat herding instincts will never go away, though. But he just needed some attention and a pack leader.

Corgis are tough. My parents were definitely not strong-willed enough to deal with Molly, our old corgi. She used to herd the cats upstairs when she heard my dad's car in the driveway, and then wait at the door with a proud grin on her face. So glad Frankie is an easy dog.

Mac'n'cheese and pecan pie: one scope down, three to go! Unfortunately, the pictures I rely on to refresh my memory (I evaluated these properties months ago) are not where they should be. This could be tricky.

Darby won't go near Corgis because we used to dog sit for a kind of mean one.
(Girl has issues. There are blocks we can't go down because at some point in the past, she was, or felt herself in imminent danger of being, barked at. What cracks me up is that she's really no longer fearful like at the beginning. She's just very determined.)
