Troj doesnt care much about unfamiliar dogs but shes very environmentally strong so we'll go to dog club sessions and people approach us like oh :( i see shes timid :(

Meanwhile Troj's just planted with her butt on the grass going 😌 slack leash, barely awake, brain cells gone off to wherever they go when they're off, perfectly zen and i just have to stand there like mm sure?

i do think when considering temperament breed standard should be considered, like in no way should guardian breeds be as willing to leave their owners sides as much as my three un-loyal (breed typical) assholes are.

My intrusive thoughts really be getting to me

After almost two years of living alone with my now retired dog without any puppies or youngsters around to board and train my brain is really starting to convince me to get a puppy again

This is very hazardous

dogs are more psychologically and emotionally similar to humans than any other animal. in this sense it is an error to overemphasize breed when it comes to personality, because dogs are individuals primarily shaped by environment. yes, certain instincts are in-built for a generality of a breed (by far the most consistent and prevalent example being herding), but an individual dog will have unique fears, habits, likes and dislikes, quirks, temperament, physicality. this is missing from most discussions on the topic but it is well-understood by animal behaviorists. there is no particular behavior that all members of a breed display, and there is no monolithic personality that automatically applies to all members of a breed, full stop.

Hey knowing h!zorua/zoroarks are in the next gen games.

What if we combine manwhore ingo and the replacement ingo au and throw in some of the original intent angst of replacement ingo.

The reason theres h!zorua/zoroarks in paldea is that ingo died and became one and him and spice manwhored it up and then got really lost

I do like the idea of Ingo getting zoroarked somehow and Spice having to deal with that <3

Now that Sammy's been doing better for a while I've started thinking again that it would be a good time to see if I can find a better home for him.

In my logical mind it seems the better choice for each of us, overall. For him, for me, even for Bats. I would sorely miss his incredible over-the-top goofiness and that he so easily is motivated to play with or without toys, and just his personal quirky flavor of endless love and affection, his abundant happiness. Knowing myself, I'll probably even miss the challenges in some way. A very bright light of love would be disappearing from my life, and just thinking about losing it makes me cry. The other thing I'm not looking forward to is that I probably should inform his breeder, and I probably could do without whatever she has to say about it. I'm imagining it wouldn't be something nice necessarily, based on my previous experiences with her (although I'd be happy to be proven wrong about that, it could very well be just my fear of rejection speaking). Still, I think she deserves to know IF I indeed find someone I'd trust him with.

On the other hand. To know him in good hands that can provide more training, more enrichment, better/ easier vet care as he gets even older. All things I do struggle with a lot since my health took a turn for the worse, and which I already did struggle with from the start, albeit much more low key. It would lift a huge responsibility from my shoulders, and maybe grant him the chance of a more fulfilled life in the years he has left. I knew from the start he's not the dog for me, that he requires more energy than I have to give, even though I tried my best to provide him with everything I could give him during our years together. And we definitely did give each other a large amount of great experiences that I wanna say we both don't want to have missed.

But I think I at least should try. I'm thinking of making it a requirement that any interested person will visit us a number of times to spend time with him and do things with him, so I can see if he starts opening up to them at all, and maybe see how they handle him in his not-so-good moments. Ultimately, I would leave that decision for Sammy himself, though, since animals tend to have a good idea about where they need to go themselves. I think he deserves to be given that chance. If it works, it works, and I'd be happy to let him go to a better life. And if it doesn't work, it doesn't, then he stays here for the rest of his life and we'll make it work somehow. However that is, but in some way we'll make it work if it comes to that.
