le mieux que je connais les hommes, le plus j'aime mon chien

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Complain About My Pets:

1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. To you, it's an animal. To me, s/he is an child who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

I absolutely love my dog. In fact, I like dogs better than most people I know. Here's why:
