I just had an absolutely horrible day. This little story made it so much better; who knew Buffy and I just needed weiner dog races and Spike to make it all work out?

She'd always thought that the gap in social understanding between her and Spike -- as for example, what constituted a date, or a reasonable conversation -- was because he was a vampire. It occurred to her now that some of it might be because he was a) British, and b) a total boy

So true! Spike is such a guy. But big points for the Killer the dachshund, and know how to make Buffy smile.
