Reasons to be cheerful!

[Dark Lightning]

Let's hope it is the sort of date that he wants and that it works out well.

We recently adopted a rescue dog (ca 7 months ago, she's about 4 YO). When we took her to the vet the day after adoption, she had no interest in any sort of medical procedure, snapping, snarling, squirming, trying to bite, etc. We were given drugs for the next time we visited, as nothing except her weight was medically recorded during that visit. I'm cheerful because our dog seemed off her feed (not really eating at all, and a bit listless, for the last couple of days), and when we got her to the vet today we were able to calm her and get a complete exam and blood drawn with not a whole lot of trauma. She is apparently OK, but the blood work has yet to be done. NB- the people at the shelter rolled her up in a blanket to get what they needed to do done. I'm certain that that process had traumatized her quite a bit, hence the crazy first visit to the vet. The really good news is that she has gained about three pounds. OK, not an obese pet- 20 then, to now 23 pounds. Once we got her to go outside alone (she was an apartment dog) and encouraged to run around, she used to fall when turning while running. After those months since we got her, her strength has increased to where she doesn't fall anymore when running and jumping. I'm sure that those three pounds are all muscle- you can see that her legs no longer look like sticks, and her haunches are bigger, on both sets of legs.

I went to a lovely dinner with a pretty girl and afterwards we rode around until it was time for both of us to part ways for the evening. We both had a good time but it's damn cold. Damn, damn cold.

Hopefully we can do something again soon.

that's excellent. i've always either picked up strays or gone and pulled  something out of death row at the dog pound. went there once after we'd been burglarized to look for the biggest dog they had. came back with a grown 100-plus-pound malamute that had been kept alive three weeks after his kill date because he was so friendly-- he had three days to go. kept him for some ten or twelve years. the most annoyingly intelligent dog i've ever had.

good on you for the rescue route.

'Pretty sure' leaves room for uncertainty, right?

I don't have Coronavirus.
Can take a couple of week till it shows.
Ye ye, I still don't think I've got it.

JJ,Do not be put off by the suspicion that she may have a girlfriend.  There are some most worthy companions with an AC-DC  tendency.  Some of the ones who come off as having a same sex preference may just being cautious.  In the end, some of my best and most trusted female friends are of the lesbian persuasion.  Cut her some slack. You may have a valuable friend/acquaintance either way.

Maybe they're poly and looking for a 3rd and she was vetting you?

Went to see my investment advisers this morning. I crossed a threshold of net worth that allows me access to better investments- read- they pay better. I think I'm going to take a vacation from retirement and go visit Europe a bit.

Is the place as good as generally perceived it is?

Pictures would be nice.
