Kennel cough can be pretty persistent in well dogs.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
IME, shelters and foster places almost always suggest pits and pit mixes to possible adopters, just because there are so many of them waiting for homes.

I always suggest greyhounds, but that's what my group places.
OMG, I wish we could get a third dog. There's a whippet/IG puppy up for adoption just north of us. He's so flipping adorable.
Signed,
There are dogs other than sighthounds? This does not compute!

Thrive to spite them
I want a dog. Not now, I can't have one, but in the future I'd like to have one with Will. A dog, the cats, some Nigerian Dwarf Goats, maybe some chickens. Possibly barn cats.
If I could ever find a laid back Basenji like my great aunt and uncle had that would be great. But laid back is very atypical for Basenjis.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
But laid back is very atypical for Basenjis.
Yeah, I was about to say -- amazing, cool, inquisitive, fun dogs, IME, but they're normally a fast-moving blur.

My great aunt and uncle, whose beach cottage is next to ours, always had a Basenji, and the last two they had were very laid back. They spent a lot of time at the beach, until my great uncle died, so I got to spend time with Baby (the Basenji). You could let her run off leash on the beach because there wasn't too much to chase, no danger of dogs, and eventually she'd come back to you when she called.
She really liked Dad and any time we went over Dad had to pet her right away. The few times he didn't she'd paw at his leg and yodel for his attention.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, here's how addled my brain is on migraine meds. You know how it's common for scandals to be named with the suffix "-gate" now (Whitewatergate, Nannygate, etc.)?
I just read a reference to "Watergate" and thought, "I wonder what water that refers to?"
I cannot brain.

Will has said he wants another dog (he's had Dobermans and Rottwielers and some kind of shepherd in the past) but he wants a really chill, laid back easy going dog. I told him we should think about retired/rescued greyhound.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just read a reference to "Watergate" and thought, "I wonder what water that refers to?"
I'm only sorry that they didn't name the scandal after the whole neighbourhood. Who wouldn't find the news improved by extensive coverage of scandals such as Nannybottom or Contrabottom?

There's a PolarBeargate!
