Ronald: can usually tell how an animal has been treated by the way they respond to strangers Pamela: when we were broken into all those year ago, I'm pretty sure they went up to the guy and went "Hi, rub my belly please" Guy B.: Well anyway, now that she is getting better. Now, I will have to be next. rich-c: you coming down with something, Guy? BobS: what is YOUR problem ? Dr. D.: That was it I am sure when my coin collection was stolen while I was away at college...our dog of the time was a wuss.

Mine cramps when it's cold - and not very cold rich-c: got a sweater on now, and a wrist brace - and it's at least 71 in here Dr. D.: Dogs are friendly, cats are out for themselves...dogs will love you, cats will tolerate you so long as it amuses them.
