Despite that, they are worth it and then some.

In 7 weeks, my situation changes, and I start looking anew for a give-away, pound or rescue dog.

We lost the Lab lost 2 years ago, and the Dachshund about 10 now. Still looking around for either or both at times. I'm sure if there is a doggie heaven, they are showing Ruby around.

One of each if we can find them. Need a big dog to keep the boogers off the little one..... smile. Boogers meaning bears, wolves and coyotes primarily.

Want me to look for you?


Mid May- I'll start looking. But thanks, Mike. Logistics and all. And wife doesn't show up until July. smile

She hated Tripper Lab pup at first too. That lasted about 2 days....then she left for a 2 month away from home job. All good after that. And if I have "her" Dachshund on site, (last one thought he was mine) it's all good. We won't tell her. One doesn't live 40 years with a woman without learning work-arounds.

She's only tough on the outside.

Well, actually, one really does not want to cross her on some things....... I mean, really! But a weiner dog fixes everything.

Compromise, hell - I'm going straight for the bribe.

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
