Since I Have No Better Ideas
A couple of friends maurinsky and konagod did this fifty question test thing so here goes. Without rehearsal, without rewrites, just straight through.

Yeah, but it started to really bother me wasting all that good dope each time I exhaled so I fully embraced my inner junkie and got down.

that is one of the cooler questionaires i've read.
mastiff, my cousin had one years ago. sweetie he was. brindle grey.
here's a post about butch with a picture
he's totally cool. my big ol' buddy.
what a cutie!(i had a beagle named butch, when i was a teenager)
i have always had pets.
i miss my dogs that i had but the mother was too rough and with my grandaughter only turning 2 at the time and running we were afraid that she might be hurt accidentally or even if not hurt badly, become phobic about dogs and i would NEVER want that to happen. i love animals too much to perhaps deny her the joys of loving and trusting dogs. so we found them a good home together.
140 lbs between the 2 boxers was a lot of dog running and chasing.
but boy, i do miss them.
i've had all sorts of animals growing up and i can truthfully say that i've never been hurt by any animal. can't say that about human beings.
enjoy your animals and tell them i said hello.
Ach, you can always tell the memes that start on Livejournal. Thus the Qs about crushes, wedding songs, etc.
I think they wanted to know if you had any cool character sheets as a kid, not the thread count.
I got a shot and now I am immune from memes
Your answers were fun to read. My dad's birthday was April 24. He's been dead for years now but that date always pops out at me.
Dog wrangling is always first on my day's list. Here, that includes hauling a canine butt up the steps.
I was quite phobic about dogs when I was little. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I started meeting dogs who were easygoing and it wasn't until then that I learned how to interact in a good way with a dog. I've never owned one and don't really want to, but I usually enjoy others' dogs!
