Condolences on your loss.

[Leeway]

Aloc, when I opened your link, I was amazed I had a dog just like that, same appearance. Picked him up as a stray in Michigan while i was as a rare book show, took him home, he stayed with us for 14 years, before passing. Utterly loyal dog. Condolences.

You might want to add some commas--at first I thought she was abused by Dr. Miller.

Before:

mia, a beautiful rottweiler, was rescued after years of unthinkable abuse by dr. miller and the loving staff of ashland road animal clinic.

After:

mia, a beautiful rottweiler, was rescued, after years of unthinkable abuse, by dr. miller and the loving staff of ashland road animal clinic.

thanks for the help, pete, i noticed the regrettable inferences in the first draft and promptly forgot them.

lee, they are loyal, beautiful, ultra-loving dogs, as long as cats and other dogs aren't around.

[alocispepraluger102]

mia was never on a farm, but she was indifferent to horses.

[David Ayers]

Well I feel for your loss.

[king ubu]

sorry about your loss, aloc

[Justin V]

I'm sorry for your loss. I also used to have a dog that looked like Mia. I'm always excited to deal with Rotties at the animal shelter where I volunteer. They always find homes quickly.

A beautiful companion, she was fortunate that she was saved from the fate she was facing and had a good deal of time with a loving family. I'm sorry for your loss.

[jazzbo]

My condolences to all of Mia's family.

My guy definitely did not like other dogs, and on the couple of occasions when other dogs came at him, they paid the price. Cats, however, were a different story. We had taken in a stray momma cat. She let him know who was boss, and he kept a wide berth from her. When she gave birth to a litter of kittens (under the sink), and the kittens started walking around, they got past the gate we put up to keep them contained. They wandered over to the dog (before we could react), who carefully picked them up and took care of them (set them down near the food bowl, groomed them, etc.) even with momma hissing nearby. Later they had a habit of eating his food, which he allowed. They would also sleep on, or next, to him. They really became great pals to the dog as they grew up. It was very amusing to watch them.

I want to know about the Siberian stout - I didn't know there was such a thing. I think it would be good for all of us in these times. That, and Brahms.

strangely, brother ayers, today's blog entry, before reading your post, was about siberian night stout, on sale this month for 4 bucks a pint at my local taphouse.

I want some!

[David Ayers]

Wait a minute. It's from Ohio!

[alocispepraluger102]

I want some!

if it's not available in your region, i'd be delighted to ups you gratis 2 or 3 bottles.

Well thank you for the offer - I'd be afraid they would break! We need a transatlantic stout pipeline. The only bottle I found available in UK was as a 'collectable' (!) on ebay! I have friends in Siberia who would normally help me with such a thing, but since its from Ohio that won't work...

[alocispepraluger102]

there are some fine british stouts i'm missing out on, as well.

british stouts go to russia
