agreed on the ugliness of the dog. though my mom has five cats at home, and my childhood had three others, I am still a dog person. I am getting a dog relatively soon, probably within the next month or two before I move into a new apartment, house, hotel room, or cardboard box. I plan on hitting up the shelter, so don\'t expect any great lookin pure bread from this guy, I\'m a mutt person for life.
Edit: on a side note, my professor this semester won the westminster junior show award in 83 or 84. I guess she\'s been working on her doctorate thesis on human-canine communication/relationships. Says she\'s an expert, but I\'m still skeptical.
http://www.dogpawes.com is her site, but its pretty thin on content, which I intend on bringing to her attention tonight
