"supposed"?? Documented in male washrooms far and wide is closer to the truth.

They are sweeties. Only problem is that Aussies have lots of medium long hair, and Huskies have lots of short, thick hair, and really shouldn't be left out in the heat, according to my vet. So both of them stay in the house in the A/C, which is okay because they are very well behaved, but they mega shed twice a year. So every spring and fall, I comb dogs, and clean up white and gray hair constantly for several weeks.

i am denying nothing except EBay activity. i am afraid of ebay.

Hah! Okey-doke. We can't allow that to happen.

I am sure they roam about disparging our humor and.....libidinous natures, but, screw 'em. We have fun.

[xsmommy]

[Bella_Bru]

disparging=disparaging.

but, screw 'em

not even with a ten foot pole....

[Argh]

This won't help much, and with the Aussie you may not want to do it, but our Lab used to love being vacuumed! Especially the area where they can't scratch, the lower back just above the tail.

I have witnessed no real or simulated sodomy in the last 4 weeks.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I don't need a book. My dog and I have the same IQ.

[Argh]

whyisa did what hobbes purports she has done, well i think that arhgy would be rather enthralled with the entire proposition....

I dunno. That means I'd come into physical contact with the wretch. Ug. I think I'll get rid of the repulsive feeling you just gave me by heading over to the House of Ptomaine to grab a spot of garbage to mangle.

[xsmommy]

the fruity dogs grew out of it. once we slice open xs2pup looking for his parts, he will be cured of it too, no doubt. orchidectomy i think it is called?

[Argh]

xs2pup is still humping the stuffed animals....

He's related to Whyisa, then.
