Yes. They float along the surface and catch prey with their long stingy tentacles.
Send me your e-mail address, and I’ll bounce a link to her her way. She may be in need of some serious dosage, but as I would still like to somewhat respect her privacy.

Hey, Porties are smart dogs, after all. The lack of opposable thumbs hinders them somewhat, though.
j66 they look alot like standard poodles, but they’re slightly stockier. And evil. (Don’t tell elmwood I said that, he seems fond of his.)
I always say that before you get married or anything resembling a romantic entanglement, you should get yourself a dog or a guppy and see how that works out for you. If you come home from work one day to find the dog dialing for porn and the guppy streaking through the neighbor’s yard, then commitment, my friend, is a beast you’d best not stir.
elmwood, those dogs are sooooo cute!!! :squeals: 
luluBahrain: dump that asshole-shitforbrains-fuckhead-jerkoff-“when we move in together, the dogs will have to be outdoor dogs!”-whiny-panzyass-pathetic loser.
That’s my advice anyway.
Lord Ashtar - I meant “Send me your e-mail address, and I’ll bounce a link to her your way.”
Damn foggy contact lenses.
Yuppers. The breed is one of the genetic predecessors to the Poodle.

Porties aren’t evil (I heard that, Magayuk!), but they are mischievous; they hav a very deliberate, wicked sense of humor. For instance, if Guinness is demanding attention, and I won’t give it to him, he’s got a last resort – a hard nudge in the crotch, followed by a laugh. :eek: Bailey will sometimes walk up to me, sit down, burp, and leave, just like a six year old human showing off.
Thanks for the squeal, Mariemarie. They’re normally fantastic chick magnets. This is the first time they’ve been woman repellents.
Lord Ashtar, here’s the profile text. Kinda’ generic, really; not something that would inspire me to write to her first. 42 year old female. (I’m 37, FWIW.) If you want a link, let me know.
Strangely, her profile also reads “I don’t have, but like: Cats, Dogs, Fish, Birds, Horses”
My totally uninformed and biased verdict: bipolar.
What a crushingly dull ad. I’m surprised it doesn’t include the all-time personal-ad cliche, “I love to laugh.”
And take long walks on the beach.
As long as you don’t bring your mangy mutt!

ARrrggh! One of my dating “criteria” is that the man have a dog. Or at least have had one at one time, and like them. IMHO, people who don’t like pets are a weird sort of people. I try to avoid them, they just seem odd.
An opinion your psycho match seems to support.
PS. I found that a lot of match.com people don’t read the profiles. I got more dang hits from smokers. Despite the fact that my profile CLEARLY stated No smokers.
While I generally agree with all the support you received from the group here, I don’t agree with their conclusions. Look at the message she sent and look for the REAL meaning:
OK, the opening certain seems to say she doesn’t like dogs and that’s what everyone found objectionable. (Her second statement about smell and dog hair added insult, but that was after you clearly rejected her, so she was striking out.) The REST of her message is more about who controls your life–you or the dogs? You picked the house (apartment to her) you did because of the dogs and she thinks that is ridiculous.
So why would she not appreciate you for caring so much for the dogs that you are willing to make sacrifices for them? It seems to me that most women would appreciate a man who is willing to go that extra mile. I think she didn’t want the competition. My guess is an earlier conversation she suggested a different locale, and you explained her preference wasn’t possible because of the dogs. So you picked the dogs OVER HER! Then when she criticised you for (in her eyes) such a bad choice, you broke it off entirely.
Her response reveals a lot more about her personality than just a low opinion of dogs. I think she didn’t want any competition for who would be controlling you.
I think you made the right decision, but for very different reasons.
Coffee. Spewed. Monitor. Ruined. Choking. Can’t. Breathe.
I will laugh about this all day and people will look at me strangely.
Thanks for the ignorant generalization, ** CanvasShoes **. I hope you find a guy that is just as tactless as you seem to be.

I have found the clues to her personality in her profile:
I am seeking a sincere, honest and caring man to share my life with. [bold mine; I thinks that is exactly what she wants].
I truly believe that some of the best things in life [i.e., **her**, not you] are worth waiting for.
Does anyone have a link to photographs of the dogs? The wavy coat in a retriever clip sounds nice.
But they don’t sound like the best pets in the world.
Not a slam, but I have the laziest dog in the world, and I like that (but then I don’t plan on moving soon).
Here’s my problem . . . I have terrible allergies. If a particular female I am interested in has one or two dogs I may be able to hang out at her place for an hour or so. If she has a cat - even one small kitten - I can’t set foot into her place. It honestly is a real pain. There have been many women I have found interesting, but I have to ask “the question”. Do you have any pets? If its “yes” and “a cat”, then its over. Hey I know they’re never going to choose me over “Fluffy” that they have had for 5 years. I cannot live with a cat. Theres no way possible.
So yes CanvasShoes I am still very single - and I suppose slightly odd.
I have dated on the internet for years, my first question is always…“Do you own a chipper”
and a guy who quite succinctly proved ** CanvasShoes **'s
point.
I think I’ve fallen in love. With your dogs. Sorry man, you’re just gonna have to step aside.
Seriously, if I lived in the area, I’d date you! Anyone who has doggies that cute can’t be all bad!!!
