bonny, bittersweet is the right word, but your instincts are strong, and you'll know a better match just as surely as you knew that, yes, you need another dog. And that boy will find someone out there who is just right for him. (Someone who doesn't mind slobber, which is an absolute showstopper for me, but some people actually find it endearing. Go fig.)

[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?

Thanks so much for the slobber validation too! It makes me feel less shallow when I say...honestly, I don't care about anything that comes out of a dog...except for slobber. Really. Yuck.
Thankfully, he HAS a great person. She just felt guilty for keeping him. So I'm glad to give her the opportunity to exercise her need to give him a different chance. I know now that he'll never show up on Petfinder again. Plus, since she is the director of an SPCA, I'm certain he will get great care, forever.

bonny, I'm so glad that the dog audition helped confirm that you're ready to have another pooch in your life. The right one will come along, and probably sooner than you think, and that will be one incredibly lucky dog.

The weight is another legitimate concern, bonny. I did bad things to my back when my 50-pound and 75-pound dogs were in their last illnesses.

He should come to me! My house has no steps, is all tile, and I don't mind slobber! No, I'm glad he has a good person already, and yours will find you.
Hot, Tep!
