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.
