another gorgeous redhead

[topaz]

We met someone new on Thursday night. primal_pastry and wiley_b brought her over to our house for dinner, and the whole family really hit it off with her. So she came over again on Friday and even spent the night. Both Ellen and I are falling rapidly in love with her, omegabeth and jacflash have officially approved and even the kids are getting along with her magnificently.

Her name is Sappho, and it looks like she's going to be with us for a long time.

	Okay, so it was a cheesy gimmick. Permit me a little editorial license for sappiness. But if I ever give my dog her own LiveJournal account or e-mail address, I hope that one of you will have the mercy to shoot me.

What a sweetie, how'd you find her?

I always wondered if you found a cold, wet nose a turn-on...

I'd be careful saying things like that, in a universe with a sense of humor like this one has, my good man. :-)

Hey, what's wrong with dogs having a LiveJournal account? It's not liek we're wearing wigs.

What a nice looking doggie. I like her.

She's such a cutie! Congratulations!

Cute! What kind of dog is she?

[keyne.livejournal.com]

golden retriever. (papers and all!)

You and a redhead... go figure!

puppy!!! So pretty!! =)

Silly man. Dogs can't use livejournal. It's a cell phone that she'll be wanting.

primal_pastry and wiley_b can't keep her at their new place. So it seems kind of like a win-win situation to us -- we get to adopt a dog, which we've been talking about for a long time, and she doesn't vanish completely from their life (which would have been a near-certainty if she'd gone to a rescue shelter).

Very cute. Even if I saw the trick coming a mile away.

sweet! i'm glad she went to a good home :).

It's so much nicer when you can re-home a beloved critter with friends and not lose touch with the critter. Yay for you guys taking her in!

[vito-excalibur.livejournal.com]

So, dumb but pretty. :) She sure is pretty!

[beowabbit]

Yay! She’s a sweetie! I’m glad I’m going to get to see her again. (I hung out with her and Puppy Monster at eisa’s a few days ago.)

Awww ...

I've found that golden retrievers are usually quite bright, at least the ones I and my family have owned. The only dumb one I ever ran into was male (the ones we had were female).

But yes, she is pretty. And they're very patient dogs, usually very good around kids.

I'm glad you guys hit it off--very, very happy Sappho went to a good home!

Grr arg, I swear I logged in before I posted that comment.

[keyne.livejournal.com]

Her previous family say, and we seem to be seeing, that she really isn't that bright. :} Sweet-tempered, though, and up to dealing with the challenge of our 3yo, which is the important thing.

[skintalker.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad things are going well with you guys. I hatehatehate giving animals up, but I'm glad that you all were able to take her. Now, about those visitation rights... ;-)

You big tease!!!

Congrats on the doggie.

"On LiveJournal, no-one knows you're a dog"?

[leeble.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Doggie luuuuuuuuuve :)

It is important to learn the signals for "want to go out" and be able to tell "squirrel - out out" from "poop - out out" ;)

[lady-mishegas.livejournal.com]

Awwww, what a cutie pie!!
