Lol i would not say im especially confident. I just feel indifferent towards the likely negative outcome. If youre better at bars, think about the worst thing that happens shen you approach someone there...the worst thing that happens elsewhere is likely to be less extreme and more tactful due to the lack of alcohol.
Yeah, honestly I could care less if I got rejected. Likely to never see them again. The bar point you had is also very true, I just think too much haha

We had a bat in our house last fall. I quoted that scene the entire time we were trying to catch it.

We took in a Borzoi (Russian wolfhound) today. I'd never even seen one in person. Name's Odey.
Spoiler:

That's him in his previous place. The guy who surrendered him has a pack of greyhounds/wolfhounds and uses them to hunt coyotes. Odey is only 18 months old, but, as the guy said (imagine in a redneck accent) "Well, he's a good boy but he just ain't takin' to huntin'. If I can't find a place for him I'm gonna hafta shoot him."

That's exactly what the guy said! "He wants to be a lap dog." So he was gonna kill Odey for that reason.

Odey is the name of your....? Cause it's your lap they will want to sit on... 8-)

Sweet sweet dogs. Not my preferred breed (I'm a Golden/English Bulldog/Corgi man) but they were great.

I wish. I have a bossy Australian shepherd that doesn't take too kindly to new furry additions and a wife that has threatened to throw me out if I come home with anymore mouths to feed.

That's the name the guy gave the dog. It was weird, 'cause he said the name and I said, "Oh, like the dog in Garfield." He stared at me for about ten seconds and said "Yeah, I guess." So he apparently got the dog with that name, knew nothing about the Garfield dog, and spelled it phonetically.

That only applies to you. Haha.

Seriously, though, my reply to meow was just a joke about how NOTHING is worth a road trip to Kansas.

"Adopt locally" is still one of my two mantras.

Switch english bulldogs with Goldens and that's the exact order of my favorite dogs.

My parents english is like 12 now, and she is still beautiful as ever with her bloodshot eyes

I'd really like to do this before summer too. What brand are you going with? Wall hung or in-ceiling units? Cost?

Sorry brah. First 2 dogs I ever had were a Golden and an English Bulldog. Im bias. I love Corgi's because of a character in Dark Tower (Oy). It's also what my wife and I have decided will be our "old person" dog.
