I would also like, if not an *easy* dog, one that could go more places (especially hiking) but in reality I wasn't totally sold on the idea of two dogs and the fact that Boca is low maintenance and highly adoptable makes the decision a bit easier. I still feel a bit blue seeing her up on the rescue website today, though.

I totally get what you mean, but still. One gets into a weird kind of martyrdom, almost, "I can handle crazy dog, so crazy dog is what I deserve." OTOH, I often think about my "next" dog, and find the concept of owning a non-crazy dog to be appealing, but also kind of boring.

Overall she is a really easy dog, which is one reason I think she deserves her very own family.

I have always had trouble focusing on more than one dog at a time which is one of the reasons I prefer a one-dog house. <br /><br />Can't wait to see the pictures tomorrow!Blueberry's humanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939332241280524991noreply@blogger.com
