Cute little guy…reminds me of some dogs _I’ve_ had (most of whom are no longer with us ☹ ).

Ohh, I made myself sad. ☹

I…I couldn’t resist. I clicked the little thumbnail. And the full size picture came up. And more demon doggy flesh was revealed.

That’s a _dog_? Is she sure? It looks like a reject from _The Dark Crystal_.

Ahh…to be young and in love! with a giant mutant hairless rat…

I have in my hand a list of 42 card-carrying Communists working in the State Department.

:: _offstage whisper_ ::

Sorry. Wrong body.

I have in my hand a small piece (not even an article, just an image with a caption) from the Great Falls Tribune from July 4, 2005 that features this self-same dog, although with a different (and, in my opinion, better) picture.

It isn’t online, which isn’t surprising. [But this thread, posted by our own inimitable **Eve** , dates from July 1, 2005.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=323743) It is _not hard_ to scoop the Great Falls Tribune.

What, am I chopped liver? Invisible?

I wonder what I did to get on **Derleth** ’s ignore list.

Sorry for reposting, I’m not a MPSIMS regular. And I didn’t think CS was quite right for it, either.
