OMG! DOGS!!! I'm just a little more proud than usual of my "Top Dogs for the 21st Century" piece, so I share it with you...
I came very close to including Tink in my list, just because MetaFriend Dong Resin ghost-wrote her book, but I couldn't get my fingers to type Parrr ii ssss HHH... forget it.
I just like Tink because she's a 'huahua, like my Twinkie (I didn't pick the name Twinkie, btw; it was her name when I got her). Of course, Twinkie is much prettier! And smarter! Here she is hunting for snacks.
Chihuahuas do rule. I once crossed a chihuahua with a border collie and got deported. (bad joke) And there's nothing wrong with a Twinkie dog! My ex- named our late dog Lollypop and to make her less 'girly' I shortened it to Lollie, which I explained as "she's part lab and part collie". But she prefered to answer to my 'pet' names for her: Pup-Squeak, Puppy-Butt, Fuzz-Budget and Fuzz-Buster. If/when I ever get another dog, one of those will be his/her official name.
