drawkcabi Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Dulcinea...Dulcinea, I have found a girl and call her Dulcinea! I've been waiting and working for this for a while, over a year. I've thought all during that time on what to name her. I liked Sofia or Anastasia for the longest time. But I also thought about and liked Sasha, Maisie, Cassiopeia. Then it hit me, the name from one of my favorite literary works and my favorite musical of all. I have sought her, sung her, dreamed her, Dulcinea!

There's something hopelessly cute about it. Whenever we feed her, she will knock her bowl over so the dry food spills out all over around the floor. Then she lies down and eats the food off the floor. So now when we feed her, we put food in her bowl then a little bit on the floor outside the bowl. She eats the food on the floor first but then sue usually doesn't tip the rest out of the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawkcabi Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 New video! Just made it today. Dulcinea is the smartest little girl! Sarge looks like he does because of Cushing's Disease (in two weeks we test again to confirm but we're all pretty sure) it makes his hair not grow in places giving him the cute little goat look. Dulci has a favorite toy now too... ...me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the time put in with them makes a difference. She's just a roly poly fuzz ball but with little needle teeth. But it's all play for her. She's a bundle of love.

drawkcabi Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Dogsitting my aunt's sweet Corgi all day tomorrow. So the old goat, a middle ager used to being the only dog, and a wild puppy. Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Good luck and we better get some videos! Today in between monitoring news coverage I've been seriously researching adding a new pup to my fam. I totally shouldn't, really really should. Definitely shouldn't. My dog is my most favorite child and I can't imagine life without him, but sometimes I still get really annoyed at having him because I can't just go off and do whatever I want. So I definitely shouldn't get another, right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dog is my most favorite child and I can't imagine life without him, but sometimes I still get really annoyed at having him because I can't just go off and do whatever I want. So I definitely shouldn't get another, right?? It all comes down to the assessment of what you want your life to be. For me: I don't want to travel unless maybe I'm in a nice RV with someone to drive it, then I can take my dogs with me and just drive around North America. I like my life at home. I like the activities and things available for me just at home or nearby, the work I can do at home, all that. I don't like being alone but for about 80% of the time I like being left alone. I like my parents living with me, them doing their thing, me doing mine, and here and there we interact and enjoy one another's company or help one another. I hope I am never alone, but I know if someday I am, I can handle it if I have a dog or dogs. If I had to face that without canine companionship, I wouldn't make it. Life is good and happy enough for me. I like staying at home with the company of my dogs. Having people visit me now and then, not too often but often enough. Going out once in a while to local activities then coming home. Stepping out of my house and socializing with friends and neighbors but then being able to go back in my house and into seclusion. Enjoying some social time overall but then having the vital alone time I need to recharge with just my dogs and their antics for company. I would be less happy with no dogs. Feeling free to move to another state (or country even) if i wanted to, travel, participate in activities that kept me out of my house overnight, for a few days, or more; have a job that kept me out of the house 12 or more hours five days a week, even have a romantic partner or children, that's just not what I want. There are many things I've felt I've compromised in my life and ended up for the most part in harmony with myself because the compromises I made that lead me to where I am were acceptable and/or enabled me to at least partially achieve goals I've had. The one thing I was not/am not willing to compromise on is I've had Keeshond dogs all my life, I need to have one in my life, all my life. I'll try to rescue if I can, but if I can't I'll be very diligent in finding a responsible breeder. I'll try to balance this be being able to handle having two dogs, the other dog I have can be a rescue, as well as I will continue my monthly donations to my local human society animal shelters. That's the assessment I made of myself before I even started to get Dulcinea and kept making the assessment to make sure I felt it was the right one and it always felt easily so. So I knew what to do. Egad! Didn't mean to get so heavy in my Man of La Mancha Dulci puppy thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
