I think I found his name… It took some time and I’ve got to try it out on him:
RoryIt’s Gaelic/Irish for red, and short for Roderick.
Bogart/Beauford, Jasper, Boomer and Kodie are great names! Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll try them out for size. I was contemplating Rusty or something. I was leaning towards an J or and R name.
He’s only made one potty mess and one tear up mess since he’s been home. I guess we missed the sign the first time and he got bored and lonely the second time. I’m going to go out and buy him more toys tonight. I’m worry when we’ll be out to work how he’ll do. The vet said only two weeks before long walks/baths/play time, so we have to break him in slowly.
I’m now living in Salinas/Monterey. We have two balconys and a large grassy and treed opening around us. He loves going out a lot, as I would expect, but is a really good boy when the door opens.
I’m so happy. 🙂 It’s a real step in the right direction… 🙂
Hey guys, thought I’d give you a quickie update and get some NAME IDEAS… 🙂
As soon as I layed eyes on him I just LOVED him and had to take him home. I had to walk away for a day and could still hear his lonesome howls from the parking lot. Broke my heart. When he was still there… He was meant to be mine. 🙂
This handsome Fellow is about 1-2 years old, red & white queensland heeler (or variant of), adopted from the Shelter. He’s super sweet, very mellow, doesn’t bark (only howls when lonely), smart and intermediately trained to heel and wait.
I’m looking for a good solid name, something easy to say in public 😉
P.S. I also could use a few pointers on potty training and apartment-izing a medium size (35 lb) dog.
P.S.S. I’m going to be selling a few Windstones to fund him, so keep an eye peeled for another post tomorrow or so.. 8)

BUNNICULA!!!
Thanks everyone!!
I’m definitely going to enjoy this birthday. There’s no pressure to do something outrageous (like at 18 or 21).. I just get to enjoy getting OLD! Haha! 😛
Here I am at my father’s… enjoying 24.4k Dial up :roll:… Safely away from the reach of my husband. I’ve had chats with my surrounding family and they echo the path that I am taking. It’s time to move on.
Every phone call I have made (few) to him have ended after 5 minutes with him hanging up. I think he is feeling the strain and cannot cope with the loss now. I hope for his sake that he will understand this is all for the best and recover quickly. I still care for him, but the intelligent, levelheaded side of me keeps the emotional, loving side of me away from going back to the abuse cycle.
I hope in time I can heal and find my true match, the other shoe to walk through this life with… but I’m not expecting it for a long while. For now I’m going to do what I should have done in the first place: Concentrate on myself, continuing my career, my education, and celebrating my way of life.
I will keep in touch here and update when I have free time. Keep an eye out, I may have some pretties for sale soon. 🙂eaglefeather831 wrote:I will not only send you virtual chocolate, but I am also sending you virtual cheesecake!! That’s the best for a mood boost!

That is my plan.. for the time being. To move back up to my home town, reunite with old friends, and see how it goes from there. Thanks for all your support.. Too bad I didn’t get to see you before I left town… Maybe we can meet up at a Ren Faire some time in the future…
“What do you say when it’s over? Don’t know if I should say anything at all. One day we’re rolling in the clover, next thing you know we take the fall…”
I don’t know how many of you remember me.. I’ve been silently lurking for a while now. I’m still here to feel the joys and sorrows of this community, though I don’t put my voice out often.
Anyway, I have another sad tale to spin. Seems like that’s all I have ever had to share with you all since my very first post. But I think this event, though filed in the “sad column” it’s really a good opportunity for me… A open door for a new beginning.
I’m leaving my husband of two years, for good. We’re already separated, and over the past three weeks of isolation, I knew that this move would either make us or break us. It was definitely the latter.
We’ve had some rough years, only being together for 4 years, both being so young and having to deal with so much. As sad as I am at losing a good friend and lover, I know that as a person I will be happier on a whole without him. He is still trying to find himself, as am I. We both need to grow immensely before we can truly satisfy a spouse. Our marriage was a mistake, but like all mistakes I know I will be taking a lot of lessons away from it.
I was hoping to get some suggestions or tips of what “to do” next from those who’ve been through the Big D (and I don’t mean Dallas). If not, a few virtual pieces of chocolate and internet hugs would be sufficient. 🙂

*starts poking self and counting ribs* Good to know, either way. I like nifty tidbits like this. 🙂
