I have been here for some time as well. But started in my 40s so not the same experience as ya'll.

So this evening I found out that the dog who I initially applied to adopt got euthanized for severely attacking his owner just a month after being adopted. But because that dog was adopted before I could, I went with another dog, who I have had for almost two years now and adore. I'm completely floored- had that other person not adopted that dog, things would have been very different. Crazy how things work out like this, isn't it?

Doggo! Love dogs, glad you adopted a little canine to keep company. Pets make everything much nicer.

They really do! Except when they are shedding over everything, which my dog Annie doing is right now as she sheds her winter coat for the summer months.

Regardless, I was living alone for the first 7 months of the pandemic, so having a companion during the isolation was a life saver. She has a fascinating backstory too, she was rescued from wandering the woods of North Carolina after being shot by a farmer for going after his chickens. Now she lives a much happier life where the only terrorizing she does is the local rodent population (she is an avid ratter).

Climate change is having a significant impact already. It's almost May and the temperature over here is barely over 10 degrees. Way too cold for this period.
