Grace

The dog's name was Grace, and she was a graceful and playful counterpart to this big bug. I met Gracie at Wetherill Mesa, and in her cute, playful way, Gracie had me. I love dogs, and look forward to a time when I feel settled enough to get a dog.

Settling in also suggests a readiness for a mate. I'm lined up for good things, and I'm letting them come. I say "bring it!"
