Bunny! How are you? My DB community has made the lonliness fade. As always, the Cavalry rides to the rescue!
Dog is definitely on the list. Just not now: the house is on the market, I work long days, sometimes 6 or 7 days a week to keep my head- and this NON-SELLING house - above water.
I would LOVE to come visit you when I travel. Frankly (no exaggeration, here) you have grown more as a person, and travelled through and out of Hell more than anyone I've met here. It would be an honor.
How are you doing, Bunny?

just jumping in here to say hi on your lonely evening. sounds like it got better before I got home to read.
glad the meeting went well. gosh, it seems like these things never end, doesn't it?
re: dog(s)--I have 3. Three seems to be my number--I've had 3 for most of my adult life. currently: sweet golden retriever, wacky rat terrier, and german shorthair with serious ADHD. all found me in some way. love cats, too, but it would be a miserable existence for one in my current mix. I can't imagine not having the company!

hm, Oh, I want a golden retriever or golden lab! My oldest son had a black lab/retriever mix for ten years. What a honey. He was human! My son and he were a pack of two. Home, work, play, always together. It was truly a sight to see.

oh, they're wonderful dogs. I worked with the local golden retriever rescue for several years and fostered more than I can accurately remember. such lovely companions!

I have to agree that having dogs is a wonderful thing. My two (one a female golden and one a male shepard mix - both appropriately doctored up) are very loyal and great to have around when I don't have the kids. Both of them were adopted via a PetSmart adoption day and they may have their issues but psychopups need love too!

Gardener, I'm not too far away from OR. In fact, my dream was to retire there on a ranch working on tractors/cars/trucks in my barn, living a self-sufficient life...with the STBXW. That would've been a nice contrast to my hi-tech life today. But never got a chance to visit OR. I'd planned to camp in OR this year but that was before 'fhit hit the san'.
We have two cats (still with me). I've always wanted a dog ever since I was little and DD's been asking for one forever but a friend of mine said that having a dog is like having a 2yo for the next 10 years and then the heartbreak and to recover you get another and the cycle never stops. After hearing that I changed my mind but would love to have a dog I could take camping with when going into the back country. My choice would be a yellow lab but could settle for a dobberman. When I was a kid I always wanted a German Shepered but I hear with the wolf-family dogs you gotta make sure you're always the alpha male or they can get nasty quickly.
