Thawing Out

[rantingranger]

The frozen tundra met us and left us with temperatures of no degrees, but we had a nifty time in Eau Claire (and I in Duluth) nonetheless. I will post in detail later, but as I have to work tomorrow, I will leave a cryptic montage of images in the meantime:

That dog is the cutest thing!

Yeah, I already like that puppy much better than the hulking brutes they had before, and I expect to like this one even better once some mellowing and housebreaking sets in.

What were the hulking brutes they had before?

I'm not much of a dog person, but that ball of fluff isnt really like a dog at all :)

Two huge, stupid dogs (stupid because their keepers never taught them any better).

I grew up with the perfect dog - a collie who had attained maturity by the time I formed memories I could keep - who ruined all other dogs for me. I've met dogs here and there that I like well enough, such as the little guy in the picture, but I don't know that I'll ever acquire one for myself.

We had a collie-cross when I was growing up. She was a nice dog, but generally I like cats much better.

The need to carry poo scraping equipment in your pocket every time you take your dog out is icky, too. And then carry poo about with you until you get home. Ewww.
