An Almost Dog

Earlier today, Doug came up to show me listing for a dog up for adoption, 5 miles from us. 

Oh my gosh. No are you honestly looking for a dog right now, dude?

The dog's owner said she had to give him up because the landlord said so. There were cute pictures of them together. Doug reached out to her. She immediately did weird things, said she didn't want to work through the adoption website but directly. Doug suggested we meet up in person, he wanted to meet the dog before adopting the dog or even before talking about money.  

She didn't show up when we'd agreed to meet, she texted to say she was going to be working through her vet to make arrangements, and Doug was not not buying any of it. "Are you coming to the meetup?" he asked. She said she wanted him to bring money. 

We told her that we were all set. No thank you. 

She didn't even reply. 

While we were sitting in the park, waiting for her to show up to introduce us the dog so we could meet him and decide, Doug explained the situation to Geoff. He said "Does that sound sus to you?" Yeah buddy - it is pretty damn sus, and I had no good feelings about it once she said she didn't want to work through the adoption website.

We opted to go out to dinner, and headed up the street to Brew Belly. We hadn't been there in about a year, so it was a good choice for us to go and eat, have a couple beers, and talk about dogs. 

So this wasn't a good dog for us. This actually is not a good time. We talked about how it'd be weird for Doug to go to see his Mom on Sunday and not get to bond with a new pet. 

I'm not really ready for a new dog, so this is a good thing. Maybe soon. We'll see. 

In the meantime, here's Geoff, my Blonde Ale. Digits below, and I kind of didn't behave food-wise because I'm mad about the bloodwork, but tomorrow is another day and we'll begin again.
