*Eeep!*

That was my thought as well.

Plus I'm afraid people will associate it with more dangerous breeds. Spike sounds more like something someone would name a Rot or Doberman than a terrier.

I appreciate the offer, but I want to stick with something simple.

Appliance, I am terrified to mention real world politics on the internet! Thar be windigos in those waters.

Very cool!

Reminds me of the "he will knock four times" bit from Dr. Who.

I work in maintenance in a printing plant. Since it's a dying industry there is no desire to spend money which makes keeping the machines running harder. So 2 days with unplanned overtime later and we have a press installed in 1968, and it's original electronics, limping along. Not to mention they had 11 techs when I started. There are 4 now.

Better than hunting wabbits?

I made a post last night while quite tired and feeling a bit morose. Woke up this morning feeling a bit better and realized I just sounded like I was whining.

I grew up on a farm so I completely get it.

Small barn stalls aren't much better.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the support.

I found it tearful as well.

There is a sequel that I don't think is by the same author. It's not as good well written, but does help with that "Dear Celestia WHY," feeling I had at the end of Dashie.

I submitted one and got an auto-message saying it wasn't even being forwarded to the prereaders for "capitalization and coma usage problems."

Considering I just aced a college Comp class with a 10 page research paper, I doubt my grammar is that terrible. It would have been nice if it had even been read.

So I feel you on the "doubt I'm going to bother," mindset.
