Not sure where the "Looking for Rescue out of this Rut" came from, but it will do for now.
SWM, non-smoker, no drugs, established in life, own my own home.
No kids. I have never married-see below about the shy thing.
I'm kind of shy at first. Well, really shy at first, but I can warm up once I get to know someone.
I am shy enough that it is sometimes difficult for me to make the first move.
I love to give bear hugs, but I am reserved about showing public affection.
I’m not ugly, but I am not a Brad Pitt, either. Maybe approaching more to the likes of Sean Connery -LOL.
I am not over the hill, but I could be working towards it. Need to loose some pounds.
I think honesty and communication are very important, but I can be very blunt and direct at times.
Not especially looking for that lifelong companion, but I am not steering away from one either.
I tend to keep away from controlling or possessive people.
My work schedule can be really difficult at times, as I work a rotating shift with long hours sometimes 6 days a week. This can put a real hamper on any social life.
I find that there is never enough time in the day. I start many things, but need someone to motivate me and kick me in the butt to keep me going along my path.
Enjoy a good steak, Chinese food, Mexican food and a really good margarita, but not all in the same sitting (LOL).
I am not country, but I am far from being a city boy.
I like the old style classic rock music, but will relax occasionally to some Kenny G.
I love animals, especially large dogs.
I go to many dog shows to show my dogs.
My German Shepherds are a big part of my life.
Please have a picture if you would like for me to answer your e-mails.
Hopefully, the picture is not one of you taken from 1/4 mile away. LOL

Something simple would probably be best. Coffee, Dinner.
