also childless.

rought night for Max

Sad typo is sad

also adding this for consideration as I think the half-trimmed face/ears makes for such a funny picture:

is Max the dog on the left?

Max was the dog on the left! If I were handier I'd make him a sweater out of his discards. Or a rug to match our current one!

aw, hi puppy!

So much hair! I love u, Max.

I want a new puppy.

The other night I dreamt B was flying and I was trailing him like a balloon. Then she crashed to the ground and I found he'd turned into a paperweight. I then tried to reanimate him by putting him in my bra because it was warm. WTF people, wtf?

Woah! Stay away from the pickles and ice cream before dinner! I want another puppy too because when Max dies I WILL LOSE IT. He's about 5 now so I have a while yet but it already makes me very sad every once in a while.

omg don't even talk about that!!!

Yeah, I know. The dream got even weirder if you can imagine that. I often have completely surreal and bizarre dreams but that was pretty O_O.

I understand, I have some pretty amazing ones. Once, I committed suicide at the grocery store while sitting on watermelons. :D

puppy melted. In reality, I washed him and he immediately ran around in sand at the park so I need to re-wash his legs and definitely need to wash the rug. Heh.

omg. he looks like he sprouted from the carpet.

i love him

he's a pretty good little guy. about 85% of the time.

OMG

I finally made good on my original post - Maxwell's got his silver hammer!

A surprise just for you!

My pupster went through about 5 of my pillows and 3 of his dog beds, but he finally stopped evicerating the cushioning hereabouts around his first birthday. k9ballistics makes some pretty chew resistant dog beds, if that's what we're seeing (they discontinued a indoor/outdoor cot that I got).

Love the way the puppy's sitting, he's all whatever. "Look. It just exploded. I don't even know what you're talking about dude. Chill."

oh jeez puppy Pearl is in our possession next friday!! this is her a couple of weeks ago apols if hueg:

adorable

aiiieeeeee

I spend so much time just worrying about whether I'm ready to get a puppy that I should just get one so I can stop deliberating about it.

don't worry be happy was a #1 jam
get a goddamn dog
they r waiting at a shelter 4 uuuuuuu

i would get one in a heartbeat if my schedule wasn't so bizarre

I mean I'm pretty determined to get one, this spring/summer probably. I totally have all the resources - material and immaterial - to do so, but at the same time it's like: responsibility!

Every time I see a picture like the one above with the pillows all gored, or see people asking for donations to cover their $10,000 dog surgery, it's like "I can't handle this shit!"

At the same time, it's not like I haven't just started a phd where I'll be on my own schedule and in the same place for the next 6-8 years. And it's not like I haven't just moved into an apartment with a backyard and an unused room connected to mine, and which is 2 minutes from a dog park.

The more serious I get, the more I get cold feet.
