Thanks Pep!
I wish I felt more deserved of the admiration! Maybe it's the holidays and our anniversary coming up that have me down, but I was never big on dates before.
I will keep working. I have to keep the goal focused on ME, though, because I just disappoint myself when I start expecting things from my W that she isn't capable of giving at this point. We've had some more in-depth convos of late, with less and less anger or frustration than ever before, but unfortunately NEVER ending with "so long OM". I feel like I'm working on unconditionally loving my W so that we can DV with mutual respect and understanding (and deal with family issues afterwards). I hope I'm wrong about that. I'll keep at it, though. I'm just getting really, really tired.
Anyway, you have a good couple of holidays, too!

T-bone ~~~ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> One of H's buddies sent him this in the Xmas card. Lessons from Santa's Dog ...
When your love comes home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face, to be pure ecstasy.
When it is in your best interest, practice obedience.
Take naps, and stretch before rising.
Run, romp and play daily.
Thrive on attention, and let people touch you.
Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing, nor pout, run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joys of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm! Stop when you've had enough.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
And ...
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and lovingly nuzzle them.T-Zoner .... go play. Pepper <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Hi Pepperband,
Not trying to interrupt anything here, but just wanted to let you know that I love this Doggie Advice! I copie and pasted it in an e-mail to myself. Hope you don't mind!
Have a great Christmas!
my move

thank you, pepper. I just saw this. I'm working at being happy right now. Some good things to be happy about, like my BIL is going to pinstripe my bus and paint a King Crimson logo on the back! That oughta be COOL.
We had a nice gift exchange, and I'm going to cherish that. I'm also going to try to make some surprise reservations at some cool historic hotel for our anniversary, if there's room. I can always cancel if she's not interested.

I'm leaving town for a few days. Driving to N. Calif to see extended family. I think we should talk when I get back. Keep your chin up friend <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> ..... otherwise ... whisker hairs fall into your soup. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Are you thinking of the historic in San Diego?

Pepper:
that would be cool. Possibly later in the week, next week. You'll have to email me your number, though. I didn't save any of my hotmail messages when I let that account go.
No, this place is in Riverside.
