i can see a hexbug or three coming to our house for christmas. those things look really cool.

the good news: gigi is healing up. the wound closed overnight, like i thought it might, and no infection so far.

the bad news: we gave the bullmastiff back to my brother. the dog has serious socialization issues. every dog that came by turned into a festival of posturing and aggressiveness. that dog is going to kill another dog, for sure. and it is over a year old, so i don't know that it can be cured. i also got more history: my brother took it to obedience school and they kicked it out because it couldn't get along with the other dogs.

a bit more bad news: gigi is sore, today. poor thing. she looks at us like we crushed her last feeling by bringing that other dog home. she'll get better.

in the spring, we'll get a puppy of some kind and raise it properly. gigi loves puppies and she can show it the ropes. that is the last time we take in an adult dog that someone needs to be rid of. we've been badly burnt twice. shame on us.
