He also goes by a couple of aliases: Rusty-Roo Roo Ned Nubbin, Dog Detective He is part boxer, part Rhodesian Ridgeback and was about a year old when we adopted him. Absolutely the very best dog I have ever shared a home with. I adore him. Then, a few months ago, we adopted a 4 month old part German Shepard, part Golden Retriever pup. Etta B. Dog when I call her, Etta Pickle when the hubby calls her. I love her, but sheez, I forgot how much of a pest a pup can be. She has strung toys all over the yard and her exuberance has marked my body with bruises and a punctured tongue when her head collided with my chin. Then, we have Max, the rat terrier. I adopted Max as a step-dog when I married his human. Grouchy, fat, and neurotic, Max is not particularly loveable, but he commands respect. He also has some aliases: Maximillian Mad Max Shorty Lavender, County Commissioner We are definitely dog people. Hubby says I would be dog-poor if he let me.

Hmmm. The downside of older dogs I guess, they don't always adjust to a new home. You know, I was thinking that the best dog I ever had, I had from a pup. Now, when I think about getting another dog, I want one just like him, as he was as an older dog. Don't want to go through that puppy phase again, just want the mellow older dog, house-trained, obedience-trained, ... kind of like relationships. I don't really want to go through the whole painful dating business, just want to get to the good stuff. Well, I sincerely wish you good luck in finding the dog of your dreams. If you can do it, then maybe I can too. Find a dog I mean. Sorry to hear about Mike. Hmmm. The downside of older dogs I guess, they don’t always adjust to a new home.
