Sorry to hear that, Laura. Probably best for all of you, but a bummer.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, that sucks.

It does suck. DH is so teary over it. We really thought she was a good fit, but the kitties are quite pleased to have her going back. We'll try again, but probably with the Fort Lauderdale rescue again because more likely to be a city dog.

That's too bad, Laura.

Aw, that's gotta be so hard.

And we are trying another one. A one year old red dobie who is supposed to be good with kids and cats. We shall see.

Best of luck Laura! I hope this is a better match.
I spent a good part of last week and weekend arguing with one of my medical supply companies and fedex to get my supplies in a timely manner, which I didn't end up actually getting until today. I was quite literally vibrating with stress most of the weekend. Today, I've mostly convinced my body that it is not being chased by a giant predator. So, of course I just tripped and fell hard on both hands and knees and will probably spend the rest of my week in pain.

This baby is a male, which apparently is the less dominant gender for dobermans. If he is as delightful as DH thinks he will be then I'll name him Skinner to boss around Scully & Mulder.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sorry, sj.
Laura, that sounds promising. And of course I love the name!

So far Skinner is a complete delight. He has interacted beautifully with several neighbor dogs, and their humans. He slept well. DH couldn't get him to go outside unless he went with him, then claims he had to pee in the backyard to get Skinner to do so. But we all know dudes will use any excuse to have to pee outside.
He's a bit timid, but he is also only a pup so not surprising. I think he is going to be large. He's thin with crazy long legs.
