Sheila: my boyfriend keeps saying we ought to have a stable of dogs instead of ever having kids, and I think maybe he is not wrong.

Sal: she is named Elmindreda, after a character in A’s favorite book (The Wheel of Time series), usually called Min. Or Minny. Or Minny Minny Cocoapuffs. Or Cocoapuff, or Princess, or Crazydog or ARGH QUIT DROOLING ON MY NEW PANTS.

Julia: Aw, thanks. It makes me feel good, too.

Beth: Yes! Same unhappy dog. Being home to walk her has made a HUGE difference, I am happy to say. She’s still neurotic and weird, but she is so much happier, I think, and does less snapping.

Maddy: I would love to own her. I keep telling A to just give her to me, please. He is trying to figure out a way to be there for her more, and in the meantime I am happy to be her buddy. I love this dog like crazy.

Goslyn: I will try that raw meat trick. And then she will love me most!

Annalisa: She is starting to rely on them–she knows what’s up when I come into the house at 3. And it makes me never want to let her down, so I guess it goes both ways.

Daily walks are a huge, huge deal to them, and will definitely help with any behavior issues she has. Plus, your bond with her will strengthen over time with all the walking, and that is a beautiful thing.

How beautiful dog love can be. I have a friend whom my dog loves beyond measure; I accuse her of stuffing raw meat in her pockets before she comes to visit. But it is what it is.

Good for her. And good for you. Seriously. You should own her – she needs you! Don’t know how your kitty would feel about that, but still… and you’re right – her behaviour issues are all about boredom and loneliness. A dog needs stimulation and attention.

I think I remember you mentioning this over on EW. This was the dog that was having some behavior stuff, right? Has all the running around and getting a chance to pee helped with that at all?

Thank you for taking care of her. It breaks my heart to read of this kind of neglect. What a good person you are!

HURRAH! Dogs are the best at dragging us delicate humans out of the doldrums. What is that sweet girl’s name? Or is she protective of her privacy?
