No, I guess I really don't either. But I also know that a West Highland Terrier who's grooming schedule is a little off can 100% rob me of my resolve. We all have our weaknesses, mate. There are a few specific breeds of dog, both large and small, that I am especially partial to. Just the other day, there was a barking dog visiting my neighbour on the left. In irritation, I opened the back door to see what was going on - and came face-to-face with an absolutely gorgeous Red Setter. My resolve to be cranky vanished immediately.
At one point during my childhood,my parents and I lived next to a service station, which had a junk yard full of cars behind it. There were over a dozen dogs - each one a different species - living there and I was best friends with each one. But my absolute favourite was Tess the Red Setter. She was absolutely beautiful. And then one night, during a storm, she got out on to the highway and a truck came along... "My resolve to be cranky vanished immediately" That is a warming sentiment. You are a warm person, I believe, ant-mac. Warm people are the best people. Yes, so true about having favorite breeds. After Westies (and they are my biggest weakness, no doubt), I love, in order, English Sheep Dogs, Cairn Terriers, Löwchen (think "Freeway" from the relentlessly stupid late 70s tv show, "Hart to Hart") and Irish Setters and English Bull Dogs. I also like mutts. That was a sad story about Tess, the Red Setter. I don't know if I have ever met a Red Setter in real life. Honestly, sometimes I don't know how we, as human beings, can get over some of the stuff that we get thrown at us. Of course, I know that the alternative to not getting past hard stuff is dismal, maybe horrifying, but still... You changed your avatar again. I do not recognize this one. Fess up, who is it?
