Blah, I’m a basset hound! No one would ever compare me with a basset hound (except for the droopy bloodshot eyes, but that’s all). Ok well sometimes I drool, too, but not a lot, and my legs are NOT short! Who told you they were??!! * * * Nonplussed Who, me? WHAT?! Where am I? ---

They say I’m a German Shepard. I’ve always thought of myself more as a flea bitten, good for nothing, vomit eating, butt sniffing, crotch licking ('cause I can!), mange infested, territory marking, ankle biting, drool producing, car chasing, leg humping, hole digging, laying under the front porch loving life Hienz 57 mongrel. But whatever… * * * The overwhelming majority of people have more than the average (mean) number of legs. – E. Grebenik ---

Funny. Not many German shepherds early on, and then there’s a bunch. Go figure. Add me to the GS list. ---

Huh, looks like I’m the first of these: > [@](#): > > You are most like a COCKER SPANIEL. You are probably characterized by a sweet and energetic demeanor. You have a natural ability to attract attention just by being your flirtatious and outgoing self. Most likely, you have a subtle way of charming people by demonstrating your friendly and well-rounded personality. In fact, it is very difficult for people not to like you. You are a pleasure to be around, and your attractive yet humble ways make you a popular and admired person. Has this person ever even _had_ a cocker spaniel? They’re high-maintenance, nippy, nasty little things. (Well, some of them.) And no, I’m not like that. 😉 Despite the actual breed assigned to me, the description is fairly accurate–except for calling me “flirtatious.” WHATever. * * * Teaching: The ultimate birth control method.

I’m a pug, as well. If you need a description, scroll up and read from one of the other ten-thousand pugs. So much for individuality. * * * “It’s okay. I wouldn’t remember me either.” ---

I’m a pug!! Which is absolutely wonderful considering I have a pug named Holli and she is just so cute.
