...Is it possible for a woman to be in love with a dog? XD

Well, if not, I'm pretty close. ^_^

You all wanted it, here's another fugly picture of my precious Hewie:

That stain to the left was what was left of his "coming home" vomit he spewed when I first put him in his crate. :P

I don't know whether we're all just sh!tty photographers, have a bad camera, or whatever, but all the pictures we take suck. Everybody looks like crap, and Hewie is no exception, he's such a cute little boy IRL. Oh well...No, his eyes aren't really green, the flash did that...This is the picture of what he looked like when I first brought him home, when he was 31/2 months old. He's now five months, and weighs 30lbs, so he's much bigger right now, more shepherd-y.

On Thursday I took him to be neutered, which is earlier then most people do it, but it's totally safe. Evidence has been shown that neutering before six months of age does not cause later incontinence as previously believed. That, and early neutering like that prevents weight gain and behavior issues. I go to this old-fashioned type vet in the country, it was a lovely drive back and forth.

I got him his first Lyme vaccine, too, that and rabies are the only ones I have done by a vet. Rabies because I have to, Lyme because it's too expensive to buy myself. Everything else (parvo, adenovirus, ect) I do at home. The Lyme vaccine has it's risks, but the way I see it, taking a dog into the woods like I try to do weekly, has it's risks with ticks. I'd rather play it safe then sorry. In the end it all cost me only fifty-five bucks! Old-fashioned, old-guy vets rule! XD

I had to carry him around when we got home, he was still out of it. I carried him outside, but he would just sit there. On Friday he was better, still a little off of it, but eating. Today he's his old self. The biggest sweetheart in the world. :)

Big 'ol paws, big 'ol tail, his cute, big brown eyes and little floppy ears, and that big German shepherd snout. The way he plays with Spooky, romps like a little horse, the way that little pink tongue contrasts on his pretty black coat, the way he lets me hug, hold him, and then kiss his little face. The way he looks at me when he begs for food, his gentle personality, loving demeanour... I wuvs my Hewie-Hewie. ^_^

I hereby grant this one of the best decisions of my life.
