I watch cheerleading competitions on TV.

I have another confession…

I can’t read _ **Where The Red Fern Grows** _ or watch _ **Old Yeller** _ without crying like a sissy.

But dammit, I challenge anybody who has ever had a dog to get through either of those with a dry eye! If you say you can, either you’re heartless, a liar, or have defective eyes.

That ought to cure you.**

:eek: I will mend my ways.

His hair is as dark as a blackboard,  
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
