Probably not hypoallergenic. Which makes them not a good choice for the Obamas.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Ann, that's a ferret.

Because books.
I've never heard of that breed. Huh. They're adorable, is what they are, no matter what they're called. I want Purple Collar so much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Probably not hypoallergenic.
Yep, just my point -- if anything, they're hyperallergenic. (And a notoriously bad choice for inexperienced owners; just ask anyone who does Shiba rescue). But there's a sad tendency in morning-news level media to promote the idea of "cute! hey, everyone should get one!"
Sorry. I'll get off my totally humorless puppy-placement soapbox one of these decades.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Huh. The Washington Post has an interesting article about the survivors of Jonestown. [link] (It's in the Style section, for some reason. I think I give up on trying to figure out why newspapers put articles in the sections they put them in. The NY Times a few days ago had an article about the rising number of home births put in the Home and Garden section.) Anyway, interesting article. The comments, though, are crazy. Like, way crazier than I've ever seen a comments thread get this quickly. People claiming that pretty much everything they don't like about modern America is just like Jim Jones.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Washington Post has an interesting article about the survivors of Jonestown.
The Chron has been running Jonestown and Milk/Moscone assassination pieces all week. The most harrowing was from my congressional Rep. Jackie Speier who was an aide to Leo Ryan, and shot on the tarmac trying to escape Jonestown. She spent 22 hours lying there with five bullets in her body before she was rescued.

I'm totally with amych in the humorless get a puppy for something other than looks bench.
DUDE. I love Australian Shepherds as much as the next guy, but getting them because they are cute and then being put off because they have more energy than you can ever expend without taking them to a herding ring...and the fact that, frankly, they are smarter than most of their people...well...that just ain't right to me.
My next favorite request, "How can I get my Beagle to stop barking." Good luck with that!
Today I have a doggy lama client that is a jumper. At least that I can do something about.
