GODDAMN. HUGH WAS ON POINT. HE KNEW THE ASSIGNMENT AND DELIVERED. THAT VOICE AND SOUNDS HE MADE, UGHHH (In an admiring it as hot way).

Richard’s arms flailing is kinda funny tbh. I wonder if he also “tackled” Richard in his shorts, since they are just motion capturing stuff. I think?

Everything the shelter told us about this dog has been inaccurate, which is not uncommon with shelter rescues, because even the best shelters are working with traumatized animals and incomplete information. However, the sheer depth and breadth of the inaccuracies is breathtaking.

We thought we were adopting a two year old dog with some fear of people, but is good with other dogs. She was reportedly good in a crate and was unreliably housetrained.

What we have is an approximately one year old puppy who has terrible dog manners (for the love of god, please don’t jump on other dogs’ heads), loves people, and has catastrophic levels of separation anxiety. She finds the crate very alarming and has had exactly one accident inside the house, which was our fault - we were still working on learning how she was communicating a need to go out.

None of negatives are deal breakers (and the problems we were anticipating have turned out to be non-issues) and one of my live-in partners and I both have difficult dog experience, so we’re managing it all with aplomb. But Hooboy, this is not the second dog experience we were looking for.

The house has been transformed into a complex system of pet gates and we’ve created airlocks and zones while we work on integrating the dogs. The new dog can’t be left alone for more than a few minutes while we work on building trust that we’re always coming back for her, which has meant retooling a lot of aspects of our lives very, very rapidly.

She is both an adolescent dog and very smart, so she learns fast, which is both a blessing and a curse. Our resident dog is the approximate shape, color, and intelligence level of a potato, so we’re out of practice working with smart dogs and we’re doing everything we can to train the things we want and not accidentally train the things we don’t. We’re taking ourselves to doggie bootcamp and also engaging a trainer while I consider which dog sport I am most likely to enjoy, because unless she settles significantly, I’m probably taking up a new hobby whether I want to or not.

Anyway. Meet Lovelace.
