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.

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.
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.

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?
I know where that is! Honestly I think a greyhound would be great and I have that rescue in mind when it comes time, but I'll have to wait.
I also just discovered there are miniature cattle breeds. I think that might be in our future as well.
Aaaaugh.
"Thanks for the note. We had an internal re-structure. (New Boss's Boss) The position is "very" temporarily on hold. I should know next steps this week."
More being patient. I am so not good at being patient.
