There are [Cornish](http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/cornish.html), [Devon](http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/devon.html), and [Selkirk](http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/selkirk.html); all of them curly.  
[Sphinx](http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/sphynx.html) are the nudies, though not always _completely_ bald.  
My husband and I were thinking of breeding some rex’s. They are adorable!

Ooh, another one!  
I’ve never heard of a [LaPerm](http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/laperm.html) before, but the name says it all. 😛

Why do you say you’re a bad pet owner.

Laughing at pets is half the reason to have them.

My dog is always falling off the bed. Stupid dog lays on his back and then turns over, right off the bed.

Makes me laugh every time.

I think your dog must be related to my cat.  
Does he like spankings too?
