We got the Doggie Fever

[amberica]

The need for a dog in my life is getting way too strong since we started spending so much time at the new place. There's just so much OPEN SPACE that needs to be run through and pooped on! ;)

Actually, it's a very nice, dog-friendly neighborhood. Dee has an elderly Golden Retriever who sits out in the yard most of the day, just kind of smiling at the world and occassionally trotting around and greeting neighbors who come by to visit. One of the girls from the opposite side of the development introduced us to a spunky little Bichon-looking dog after he walked right over and into our garage to see what Jon was up to! :D We really like the way the 7 houses and their surrounding yards and land are all pretty much one big communal area that everyone cares for and enjoys together. It's very relaxed and friendly, dogs included!

All that being said now, we found this listing today, and although this dog is a NON-FEMALE and a NON-POODLE (*gasp*), he does sound like he pretty much has the qualities, training, and personality we have been keeping our eyes open for (not to mention, he's very pretty - awww!) Plus, we are big advocates of pet adoption. We requested an application to get started on the screening process and see if this dog might be a good match for us and our lifestyle. If not, no problem. We'd rather have the "right dog" than just adopt one just because we really really want one.

Oh, Kodiak looks like a great dog, I hope you get him!

In the mean time, if you want me to come run naked through your yard & poop on your lawn, just call me. Anything to help make friends comfy in their new place...

I would REALLY APPRECIATE THAT! Woo hoo! What a pal!

I can be almost like having a dog in any number of ways; I beg, I whine, I scratch myself, I complain about bath time, and I insist on sleeping in the absolute center of the bed regardless of how many other bodies might be in it.
