It actually made the local TV news. *edit* 'Ursa' used to have her own towel that we threw to each other when she came to visit you and bury her head in your lap. She had a drooling problem. A beautiful dog and true, '... [More]

Bit off topic but anyhow. On topic: That is not a dog, its a goddamn moose LOL. Have a look at this Hound of Baskervilles. Its not a dog, its a demon.
