OK - I don't know how "wrong" it is of me to post this, but I think if anyone would understand/appreciate it, it would be this group. That pic that Tina posted of the pup in post #157 immediately reminded me of my younger daughter!

Okaugust-you definitely should get the hub another (that little fellow in the picture is so handsome)
-honestly though we did think a bit about how mch less we'd be going on long MC rides. Ultimately the pooch is the best exercise partner I've ever had-rain-sleet-snow-hurricanes-he wants his daily 5 miles. Todd-plleeease take a recent pic of Misha and post her up I want to see what she looks like as a "grown-up". Seems like her weight is true to the 6 month weight plus 25 percent. Lucas is about 5 pounds more than what the calculation was supposed to turn out to be. Lean is good for our GSD's-keeps those hips and elbows healthy. I'll bet Misha is gorgeous now. |

He says he'll divorce me!
![]() Though that has its upsides... ![]() But if I ever get laid off...I'm taking my severance, selling the house, moving to Montana and starting a German shepherd ranch. This corporate life is killing me.

I'll have a job for you. It will involve cleaning up
![]() Won't pay much, the reward factor will be high. You'll love your co-ummmm-workers and they won't be as dumb as the ones you have now. As a matter of fact, I don't think I have single sales rep here that is smarter than my GSD.

My pops decided to take a nap on her dog bed after the meal. Misha decided to join him. She started out with the protective paws around his head, then just went in for the full-bore snuggle! Right after this, dad got a face-washing that sent him retreating. -T

Todd she is so different as an adult-sheps amaze me in how there coats change as they mature- I was guessing she'd be silver but she's filled with soft browns and creams=she's a looker!
Okaugust-so he'll beatch a little I'll bet he'd end up likein' her. My wife's going back to the corp grind-I've had a decade break and find the thought of going back more than hard. |

Also, we have one kid in college and another a senior, so we are really starting to get a taste of the freedom that goes along with it. Mike's mom is a great petsitter, but it is also nice to look to a time when we can just pick up and go. All that being said, I suspect at some point we will find ourselves in a perfect place and time and we'll trip over a pup that that'll be it.

Ah this is the same dilemma I'm in. Being a single dad for Desmo was tough. I would only go away when my parents could watch her or my gf. But since it was often nice to bring the gf along (she rode too) on trips that meant less options. I wish the great pet daycare places that are around now were around back then. A friend of mine has a Shepherd (also Misha but a male) and she took him to doggy day care a TON when he was really young. It was GREAT for him and he loved to go!!
I so want to get another female Shepherd but it wouldn't be fair to the dog. Got other shit to deal with and the place I have is not really good to raise a new pup in. -sigh-

Okaugust-from what I've gathered from a few thousand post we're pretty much in the same place in life- I hear the call of the wild and the ability again to travel and explore- optimistically I'll have the cake and eat it too! I'm so excited about having another "Lucas"-I truly think/feel that this is one of the most wonderous and enjoyable creatures on the planet and having two can only double the enjoyment-the painful side of losing either in the future must be weighed against the reality of having had the companionship in the first place. I miss my first lab Zoey but would never trade our memories. I find that the purity that animals bring help us understand and appreciate our human counterparts all the more.\
Des-I get why you miss/missed your pup now. more so than ever- |

Will do, I've gotta get some better pictures but she is shy around anything that is pointed at her. She has been like this since we got her. We think that she used to have to wear a shock collar. Who knows what people do to their animals before they take them to the pound.
