Well, I finally did it....
I adopted a rescue puppy. I figured now that I’ve largely retired, I have time to devote to a dog. She is the sweetest little nugget, but she is clever, very clever.

Read. I need to get another gate as this 6-7lb pup figured out how to open the gate numerous ways. Even manipulating a 10-lb barbell to get it out of the way.

The rescue org said she’s pointer and lab. I think she’s got a lot of Pittie in her.

She's the spitting image of a pittie! I read a lot of Dodo stories on the web about various animal rescues and that's how I'm seeing her. Usually the puppies back legs do not support them so the idea is to strengthen them bit by bit or (in one evidently hopeless case) amputate the hind legs. The result was one weird lookin' dog. I think some appliance or little cart was attached to the dog to give it balance.

D’awww - what a sweetie!
I do think she has a little Pittie in her too - that big ole head! :love:
 
Cute name. I bet that name is an offshoot of the word, "darling."
So how did you and daughter like Minneapolis?

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born there. And he and Zelda are buried in a small cemetery at the front of a church in Rockville. I've visited it. The notation on the headstone is the famous last line of his book, The Great Gatsby:
“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
 
Sorry @labelo :blush::hugs:
Oh boy don’t I know it!! I am on my final attempt tmrw with my navy blue space derby. I now have to stay home all day tmrw :mad:. Told my kids we are staying home because I can’t drive them anywhere. I even had Amazon boxes sitting outside my door today when he came. Once, they graciously left it there w my other boxes. I can’t stand that Hermes won’t let me sign the slip to have them leave it. There is no fear whatsoever of anyone taking a box in my neighborhood. Have a great vacation!!
Dont know where the quote went :-/

I'm glad you were able to snag one!
I have problems both ways--leaving packages on the porch without me having signed a release slip (this happened with a bag once!!!), and then not leaving it when I leave a signed note on the door. :confused1: Stolen packages are a real concern where I live, so I try to be smart. I'm still working from home, so being at home isn't a huge deal, but sometimes I'm on a call and can't get up to answer the door immediately, but I'll be able to in a couple minutes and I wish they'd take a signed slip!
