Watching a little Jack Russell called Yoda. I need a thousand of him. I forgot how AMAZING JRTs are!
Srsly though this dog is like a miniature Roxie. Which is funny because I came home blabbing about how awesome Yoda is, and my mom was like, "see? Too bad you have that sh*t dog (Roxie)" and I was all, "oh no, Yoda is a miniature Roxie! Why do you think I love him so much? He is exactly like Roxie but in a smaller, more licky package!!"
Forget Greys as my next dog and a Jack after. Jacks first. I need 20. Immediately.

Well, nothing went wrong yet and I am now about to leave for the 3 hour drive from Irvine to San Diego to see that border collie girl... Hopefully nothing goes wrong while I'm there, and the foster mom is like "JK U ARE CRAZY" and doesn't let me adopt her.

Following on the heels of a massive kennel cough outbreak that has taken out most of my city (For which our clinic/daycare was apparently ground zero despite taking precautions), we now have confirmed canine flu. Hooray.
Our clinic has yet to see a case, though several day cares have been decimated. I'm hoping that the fact that we were shut down for heavy cleaning due to kennel cough when the cases of flu started appearing means that we might escape this one.
Sometimes living in a super dog friendly town is awesome, and sometimes it sucks.

Really sick of my "family" telling me how horrible my heart dog is.
Which is hilarious, because now they say how AMAZING our last dog is... even though they always threatened to get rid of her and more than once had me write up an ad for the paper to get rid of her. Honestly, if Buddy had been Roxie's size? She'd have been a lawsuit. At least Roxie is sane.
And I mean, Roxie is a dog that I constantly am in awe of. Some days I feel like I'm not good enough for her, and that she deserves better than me. But Roxie has helped me SO much, especially being social with other people... she LOVES other people, has never known a stranger (whereas with Buddy, everyone was a stranger that needed to die) and because of that, I have had a much easier time socializing with people I meet.
Would it really be too much to stop comparing every single dog to Roxie, and telling me "how much better" they are? Every dog has their problems. Stop insulting my heart dog. She is everything I could ever ask for.

Foster puppy Atlas got adopted today!! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better family to take him home. And I gave them my email and they promised to send me updates. I love it when my fosters get adopted by awesome people.

I have brought home the BC girl and her name is Bell, but renamed to Signal.. AND AND AND AND.
She is one genius crazy focused ball-driven water-insanity agile as hell dog.
I AM... SO HAPPY. I AM LEGITIMATELY SCREAMING.
Today with me for the past 5 hours, she learned "leave it", "drop it", "sit", "stay", and "go get it" on the car and at my apartment just now in like 10 minutes. :hail:
FREAKING
PERFECT
DOG
CHEERING
okay more obligatory lower-case, because I am totally not an insane human being who is crazy about psychotic herding breeds.
So stoked for you!! You have to post like a million photos. How is Lancer doing with her?

THANK YOU
I AM
EXCITED
SO EXCITED. Also, she is insane with the flirt pole and can actually do legit backflips.
I actually have her with me in my new home- Lancer and Rara are staying with my parents in my original home, because my parents are way too attached ahahaaa (nah, this is a good thing). But after she gets her basic commands down and is more generally socialized and bonded with me/cares about whether I am even scolding her or not LOL, then I will bring her back to meet the aussies to do the gradual introduction process. :'D
That makes sense. I was just curious because I know you've posted in the past about his issues. But that's awesome that he didn't prevent you from getting the dog of your dreams.
She seems so incredible!

Yep, Lancer definitely still is not okay with stranger dogs- I have a pretty specific introduction process planned out, but I'll see how it goes as we do it... probably end up making changes during.
