I know how he feels. I love dogs. Love taking care of them, walking them, domesticating them, even picking up after them.

(AND training them… we have tiny NON-yippy dogs because we bribed them from an early age NOT to act like typical little dogs: “Ok, you Bichons don’t want to be cliche yippy dogs, _do_ you?”)

But one day our next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier got in my face (jumped straight up five times its own height) and gave me a vicious bite. And now I’m irrationally afraid of it. Walking-an-extra-block-to-get-home-to-avoid-it afraid. Shit, my BP shot up just typing this.

So it might take a lot of time and work (and therapy) to get Bill and Steve together.  
_See how I quoted an Aug. rant in the Sept. thread? Pretty sweet, eh?_
