Adopt or shop?

I am looking at adopting a new pup and I am really torn. My last 2 dogs were either adopted from a shelter or found in a parking lot. But my last two dogs also died young from genetic diseases. I am really worried about going through that loss a third time.

I've been looking at shepherds because they suit my lifestyle well. I work from home, I am extremely active and no kids in the house. I am looking for a dog that is trainable and won't run off during backcountry backpacking trips.

I am also aware that behavior is also a gamble. Even for a well bred dog. But getting a dog from a reputable breeder means a better shot at a dog who is mentally stable and physically stable.

So I am on the fence for breeder or shelter.

Any kind words on fear of getting another sick pup from a shelter? Or is that just life? Animals and people can have health issues and we just live with what comes our way.

I know my hair is damaged. I have been fighting having wavey hair mt whole life. This is the result of air drying it. I had brushed it out so so much and I looked in the mirror and it went POOF.

Is it that I need to take a good 6" off? Why isn't it curly on my head? I get the ends. I imagine that is accumulated damage. What do I do with this?

I know, i probably shouldn't wear black. This was af a gala. I do not wear dresses because I feel like i look insane in them.

I think i qualify as a dramatic. I'm 5'7" with an inseam more than half my height and a wingspan more than my height with 17" shoulders. So I am built like a coat rack. I just felt I looked very awkward this year. I do like the black and white pallette. I actually designed the shoes I'm wearing hear because I couldn't find spectators in a boot without zippers and zippers kill the vibe.

Should I consider other colors and structures for my suits? Should I finally just try and wear a dress? I hate them. A lot.

I was thinking a muted dusty rose next year.
