knee, crotch. Easy, fast, fun.

I do pet therapy with my golden retriever, and it is amazing how much some people will perk up around him. Even when I just have him out for a walk, people ask if they can pet him and want to talk to him.

Some therapy dogs are "reading dogs" now - they go to libraries and schools so the kids will read out loud to them. These are kids who won't talk to or read to an adult, but they love reading to the dogs.

Autistic kids often benefit from having a pet or visiting with a therapy animal and are brought out of their shyness by the animal.

I hope they will get this little girl a pet of her own to talk to.

Um, no, no she isn't.

Really.

I used to threaten to change my son's name to "Creamy Goodness" if he didn't behave. ;^)

Amy, you rawk!

We've done that. Takes about two weeks to brew some good beer, though. And you wouldn't want to do it in a bathtub, though you could. A good carboy is way better.

For $70K, I would probably want a cheap ring.

And a car.

And a nice donation to a charity, perhaps.

Why oh why can't the rich share?

Looks like her hands fold a bit to the outside as well.

Interesting.

But can the chimps play W.o.W?

Mercury he ain't....

Man, this place is full of idiots today.

Great for mopping up those gravy spills!

Please just volunteer with your local humane society. They need dogwalkers and catsitters....

And maybe someday selfish people will recognize that buying things is certainly not necessarily an unselfish act. Good grief.

I'm no commie. I am simply one who recognizes that marriage is about love, and not flowers.
