Here's the actual quote, from an AKC spokeswoman:
It will not be registering Poovanese or Cavoodles any time soon. “What would our registration stand for then?” a spokeswoman told me. “Anyone could make up a dog and say, ‘This is a dog!’ ”

Also, since I suck and forgot too say, poor baby, and poor friend-of-Nora.
I wanna make up a dog! I want a Pit-Pei.
“Anyone could make up a dog and say, ‘This is a dog!’ ”
Soon everyone would be making up dogs! It'd be anarchy!
I'm glad the poor puppy had a good home while he was alive.
Just got off the phone with my brother. I'm sure y'all have heard this before, but I love the conversations we have. Defining hope, nihilism, biological imperitives, logic. Adding 70 horsepower to his car, racing at 170 mph, Talledega races next weekend. He's SO interesting. And when I'm down on myself, he champions me, which makes no sense, but he loves me. I'm so lucky.
Nails done.
Sad news from a friend, but she's doing ok (early miscarrige.) She's already looking to the future in the positive. She laughed at my
oh fuck
response, so I guess that's good.
Dogs and dogs living together!
Aimee, sometimes that image of you giving the accidental bird is all that gets me through the day, baby. I love that story.
Oh yes. So very much this.
Oh Nora, the poor puppy story is so sad.
That's terrible about the puppy.
Sara, is he adding horsepower to his normal driving car? I've been on the receiving end of a number of those "conversations" since my partner in crime bought a new car, that evidently needs hella tweaking.
Dude. Beer goggles not only exist, but you can even calculate their effect.
Dammit, and now that damn Duchovny commercial with the shelter dogs comes on and makes me cry.
That shelter commercial kills me every time. I am such a dog person.
Nora, I'm so sorry about the puppy! Your poor friend.
sarameg, it's good that your friend is feeling optimistic. It's so hard to go through a miscarriage.
I love "Brandy"! It's on a tape in my car right now, as a matter of fact. Poor Looking Glass. A one-hit wonder.
