Well, I was gonna say "Ahhhhh. Puppy Love" .... And get a warm fuzzy feeling all over.

But then she castrated the last puppy she found and Toby's voice might change.

BWAahahaha! You know, if Sean was a lot fatter and had a mustache and prettier eyes and didn't look quite so gay, he'd look a little like me.

Major cleanup coming if Class ever starts.
