On the plus side, Thord followed me up to our library room, which is also a cat-safe space, and was very polite to Luthien. I believe he got head-butted as a reward.

4/4

Hunting for my color books I dug through boxes from the room where they should have been, & where my other graphic design & typography books were. If I had the gumption there *might* be one in one of several boxes of computer-desk junk.

Grumble grumble snarl bite off heads grumph

The search for books was made after discovering that the Visibone2 swatch collection is in a file format InDesign doesn't read, Illustrator can't/won't export it, and Photoshop can't/won't open it to try to export it.

Loki had not been at the shelter long, and had obviously had some socialization/house time. He will still bark excitedly, and wants to be friends with everybody. I don't think Thord is unfriendly, but he missed out on early socialization lessons with new humans.

5/5

...yay for FedEx guy, who was willing to give Thord a scritch, despite the growls and woofs.

Anyhoo, Thord grumbles, growls, and woofs, but also does not actually seem aggressive. Thord had been the shelter most of his life, so I think that's a lot to do with it.

Loki is Suspicious of strangers. On Thanksgiving he spent the day being concerned about the MYV (despite MYV promptly sitting on the floor on arrival and getting a lapful of Loki) and my brother, both of whom like dogs.

...interruption for FedEx delivery, delivered inside...

Loki and Dracos went on their way to Rural King. The idea was to take Thord out for some socialization, but we'll have to work on car issues first. Gimli was very unhappy the first ride home with us, but has since been fine, was kind of assuming Thord would be similar. Guess not.

Alt-text is good and I'm trying to do better about it, AND AT THE SAME TIME you are not obligated to do this thing that causes you distress.

This rude person particularly annoys me because I think your words are wonderful on their own, and the images are a bonus treat.

I'v been convinced I need to make a coordinating hat, so to be safe I'll order another skein of each. On the hat I'll probably change up the background and accent colors. So, off to order more yarn, find a hat pattern, or adapt the mitten pattern.

So toofy! 🥰

I suspect kiddo would not appreciate hugs from an internet stranger, so here’s a goofy dog picture instead.

Me too

YAY!

And picked, with Dracos' input, our Hello Fresh meals for next week's delivery. Did I look to see what we're getting today? No, no I did not. Because they sounded good at the time, and we've liked everything we've chosen so far.

Indeed! I ordered a copy and realized it would be a good Christmas gift. I can always get another copy for myself. 🙂
