the 100% directionless thread

Today has been an interesting one. My girl and I have been on the downward slide the last two months. Been almost three weeks since my surgery and haven't seen her once. She's said she was gonna come by more than once but it never happened so this morning I finally threw in the towel and told her this isn't going to work and sent her on her way. There's more to the story than that but I don't want to type it all out.

Went to go to my doctor's office to pick up an Rx and one of the staff members asked if I knew anyone looking for a dog. Long story short we met up after she got off work and I fell in love. One girl gone and another walks in right when I needed her most.

If all goes according to plan I get to bring this sweetheart home Thursday night after my old partner comes and gets her dogs. I was going to bring her home tonight but I didn't want my the two bigger dogs I'm watching harassing her in a new environment while she's trying I get comfortable.

Now...to come up with a name. She's a super mellow pup. Thoughts so far are Blaze, Aspen, Summit, Shasta, Sierra, Sphyggy short for sphygmomanometer, Benzo because she's so chill, Levo short for levophed, Ami short for amiodorone or Laryngo pronounced la-rin-go for laryngoscope. I'm open to ideas :) I'm really leaning towards Benzo or Aspen.


She's 5 months old, purebred.

If you're going to name her after a med, you might as well name her after the most important one we have, "Diesel".

In all seriousness though I actually have thought about naming my first male dog either Diesel or Boston when I find the right pup. I like Boston cause I could call him Boss for short but I definitely like the name Diesel too. Seems to masculine for her though.

More often than not, neither am I.

You could go with Verse, for Versed, women'll think it's because you're all artsy and sensitive-like. If you can't parlay an adorable puppy and an in like that into a new girlfriend, then you might actually need versed to do it*. (*For a given value of the term 'girlfriend'.).

Bahaha. You're not alone there brother.

I like it, I was thinking About Versed but that just sounds awkward calling it out loud. Yes, I tested all of them :lol:
 
Robb, sorry to hear about the whole girlfriend thing. On the plus side congrats on the dog! I know it's not a med (which I like the ones you mentioned) but when I get my own dog I want to go with prob max or Sam, don't know really it just depends on the dog and when it happens.

A story to go along with the whole you got ride of one girl and got another (dog). My father had a girlfriend and he said that she would go before the dog and guess what, she did! He still has that same dog, I just thought that was funny because a i always thought he was kidding but guess not.
 
Aspen stood out to me, especially since you're so obsessed with the snow and she's part husky

Right now it's between Aspen or Benzo.

This is a different dog, she's purebred German Shepherd. The GS/Husky mix kinda fell through, when I called him yesterday the guy "completely forgot" to take care of the stuff he needed to on his end to get the home check done and to setup an appt for me to meet the pup. He kept saying he wasn't comfortable with what it would do to the pup to have me around all the time then not have me around as much when I went back to work. So I told him thanks for his time but I was going to adopt this puppy and he immediately was like "well you know I actually think it'll be alright transitioning for him so I'll set up the home check."

No, you won't, sorry dude. I contacted you in March about this and have returned the mountain of paperwork you gave me immediately and you "forgot" about me.

That's awesome that it's a purebred! I would have said the same thing to the guy, it's annoying when people do stuff like that.

Just really put me off when he said that. Your only job is this German Shepherd rescue facility...how do you space someone trying to adopt one of your dogs?

One thing I'm not happy about is she isn't papered....hip dysplasia is terrible and unfortunately more common than I'd like in purebred GSDs. Maybe it's a little over emphasized but who knows.

I've narrowed it down to Benzo, Aspen and Shasta. I really like Benzo, someone said Benza cause she's a girl, just doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Still open to ideas though.
 
I still vote Shasta. "Whhhooozze a shasssss girl?" (Say that in the rubbing a dog voice.) it's a winner.

Aspen gets my vote.
 
I'm one for benzo.

Had the owner of that '03 SV drop it off at the shop today. Low compression in a cylinder, needs new tires and a chain.
So time to start looking again! Looking at a '08 ninja 650r and a gsf500s tomorrow tonight.

The 650Rs are fun bikes. I had an 07 before it got stolen and I loved it

Only thing scaring me off is a salvage title. Owner said he low sided it in traffic, on actual damage was the front forks which were replaced.

The price makes it really tempting though. 2100 for an 08 with 13k miles.
I'm thinking I should be good as long as everything clears at the mechanic. Just worried that something will pop up down the road, but that could happen with any bike really...

Those bikes can be salvaged just based on fairing damage alone. Have a shop look it over, but you might have found a good deal there. Ask to see the paperwork from the replacement too. Those bikes are also good to modify for races. They can take 04/06 ZX-6R front ends with no mods except new plastics to clear the clipons
 
Well got all my uniforms in, start the readiness academy on monday which I'm super pumped about. Also I've made the decision to commute (about 5 hours 300 miles one way) I did the math and it came out to driving would be cheaper then rent... by a couple hundred. Plus if I can pick up plenty of OT shifts and work 1-2 weeks straight I won't be making said drive all that often. Oh and to add if its a busy fire season (which its looking to be) all the fire assignments I'll be on which can be up to a couple weeks. Ive pretty much talked myself into this haha, I guess I just wanted to see what y'all think of it.
 
Benzo is home :) she's taking her time getting used to the new casa. Taking her time in everything except for dropping a fat, hot, steamy load right in front of the door to my room. Make it your own sweetie cause here's your new home :)
