evo - committed dog person my entire life. I currently have two - a golden retriever named Pumpkin (she's very Irish setter orangish, and I got her on Halloween), and a "rescued dog" which is mostly yellow lab/basset hound cross with some pit bull terrier in the woodshed somewhere. She's low like a basset, long and white like a lab, with a pit head. I call her my spare parts dog - obviously made up out of leftovers.
I loathe cats. Supercillious, arrogant, utterly indifferent flesh-covered steel springs whose only redeeming quality is their propensity for capturing and torturing small furry animal pests. Dogs have owners - cats have staff. I refuse to be subservient to a lower life form - especially one which doesn't recognize the difference.
