Congrats on your new dog, Stinky. That's what I call a real dog. The little chihuahuas that Bird has trotting around here are not my idea of man's best friend. They're definitely the lady's. I'm glad they make her happy but I cannot honestly say they add joy to my life. They mostly add noise, odor and turds to it. Daisy, the fat one, can clear a room with her gas.

I'm getting more and more fond of our orange tabby. Your picture of Patsy makes me want a bulldog or a boxer or a lab--a nice solid, educable dog. Glad to hear you're a new mama after your loss.

* If you answered F, you win the grand prize. A first class ticket to Dallas to claim your two slightly used Texas Chihuahuas and all their paraphernalia plus an all-expenses-paid weekend with the Byrds.
