A tad on the overbaked side, but still tasty.
I love it when the cheese is a little brown!
I recently decided not to sell the house and was looking to buy a dog. I wanted an Italian Greyhound because that's what our previous dogs were. I seen an IG that looked just like our old Gidet. I told the breeder I would buy dog and pick it up in Maryland, She told me I lived to far away and would not sell me the dog. So last week the company Good Dog who handles all these sales sends me a email saying we have some more IG's for you to look at but in the description there's no details on where the dogs are located. I send an email back and asked why do you leave out in what state the dogs our located. They send me a email saying we will get back to you on that. I have not heard back for them yet. I would think they would let you know what state I will have to drive to and pick up the dog. Swal
Swal I would never try to tell you what to do, but consider a local rescue. Find a place with a good reputation and visit them. You might find a dog that likes you. More importantly one that needs you.
I have had a dog/s for most of my life, various breeds. From my experience all dogs are individuals. Different breeds can have certain attributes and characteristics, but all dogs have unique personalities.
I think getting a dog is a great idea, I wish you well!
A lot of breeders and rescues want to do everything from credit checks to property checks now.
When I bought my pure breed Dalmatian, Mickey we had to pass a forty-five minute interrogation. My ex-wife was a mater bullshitter. She could have sold the Arabs oil. I sat quietly, little Mickey sat with me the entire time. I think that sealed the deal.
The breeder said they had to be extra careful when ever the 101 Dalmatians movie was popular. People don't realize how much exercise a Dalmatian needs. If they don't get enough they can be come an emotional wreck. My ex told them "I plan to walk him twice a day, every day" She never walked him once! Mick loved to wrestle with me, that wore him out every night. Several vets commented "He is the strongest Dalmatian I ever saw, what did you do?" Mick was always a happy camper. If he was awake, his tail was happily wagging.
Old McDog lived to be fourteen when he kidneys failed in 2002. If I think too much about him it will still bring tears to my eyes. I credit Mick for me being able to survive my time (prison sentence) with my ex.
