not new.

Got a few logistics I need to take care of before I can acquire.

Notwithstanding work deadlines and pre "back to school" obligations, I'd need a few weeks before it happens.

This is what you do.

1.) Bring home a Norwegian Elkhound puppy. Wife will fall in love immediately. You can tell her it's a baby bear if she claims she doesn't want another dog.

2.) It will grow up to be a very smart, intelligent pet that bonds closely to its family. They are a little independent, but as long as you are the clearly the alpha, no dog is more loyal and loving.

3.) Ride around in your truck and enjoy! If you drive in a rough area, get several and potential vandals or "homies" will swear you have a pack of timber wolves and run. smile

What breed was Ingwe dog? Looked to be the ultimate companion.

So, I broached the Terminator (Mrs. RWE) on the dog, this dog, and I could tell she was relenting, because she started asking logistical questions, i.e. size of dog now compared to the pansy, future size of dog, shedding potential, etc.

Whether this one or another, I am breaking down the defenses.

Trench warfare to follow.

Invade tonight. Get the pup tomorrow. Win/win.

Wife said I needed to increase the size of the fenced yard if I wanted another dog.

Not a real big deal, mainly she wanted to include the garden area so maybe we can keep the bunnies out in the future.

Figured I'd hit a shelter when I get done stringing wire, plenty to choose from.

But seeing a near campfire consensus split between Heelers and JRT's I found this about 45 minutes away.

According to the phone call, it is half Australian Cattle Dog, half Parson Russell Terrier.

Hmmmmmm

That JRT / Cattle Dog looks likely though.

It may be me, but is there anything wrong with inviting friends over to drink beer and watch?

Sounds like a seriously good show.
