Since our President brought up the subject of dogs, it triggered a few random thoughts on the subject. First, let me say, I like dogs, but dog owners can be a bit much. To wit:
When taping Wheel, players will frequently mention their dogs by name. Are they hoping the dogs will hear their names or call their other dog friends and tell them to watch? By the way, on several occasions, I’ve had to remind the players to mention their kids or their spouse after they’ve said hello to the dogs.
When a dog does some sort of little “trick” and the owner says, “Isn’t he smart?” I usually respond, “Yes...for a dog.” I still think the average two-year-old can use crayons better than even the wisest dog.
When people ask whether I own a dog (I do), the follow-up question is often, “What’s its name?”What’s its name? Do they plan on sending Christmas cards?
As for dressing dogs in hats and sweaters and such, well, if dogs could talk, I suspect they’d often apologize for their owners.

Re: Woof!
Speaking of poodles (see pic, right), Rob L wouldn't act as his agent -- but we're still on good terms... Maybe the reason is that the pup doesn't have a decent wardrobe (and I did want to surprise him with a suit or two...).
Actually, tie a bandana 'round his neck and he has it off in 10 sec or less. Poor thing one time had to wear one of those large collar cones that the vet who put it on him said would be impossible for him to get out of. Next morning I had to go hunting for it.
(Interesting how these Ricochet Land conversations veer off toward the absurd...)

No such breed? It's called a Wire Fox Terrier. I've owned two including the present occupant of the couch.

EJ I think I mentioned that in passing, but if you missed it I've enboldend the actual words.

Re: Woof!
Cas - Yeah, but if ever owned one, it fits!
Re: Woof!
Maybe he meant "Weird" Terrier.

Re: Woof!
If anyone's up for a bit of Jeeves and Wooster, here's a clip containing the music-hall number "Woof, Woof!" It cues at about 3:30, when the dark-haired girl says, "How romantic! I'd do anything for a man with a St Bernard!"
