1999 september 22dogsi do not hate dogs. just thought i'd get that out in the open since a few people seem to have taken what i wrote yesterday, short though it was, somewhat personally. being feline first does not mean that i think dogs should be exterminated. periodically, gene and i talk about getting a dog or two. not now, while we are condominium dwellers, but eventually when we get that little house with the white fence and the vegetable garden in the back. for years i wanted a basenji, because they have the coolest tails and they don't bark. when i was younger, i wanted big dogs, really big dogs, like irish wolfhounds and norwegian elkhounds. just now, we are thinking about greyhounds and chihuahuas. and no, it is not a yo quiero taco bell dog moment. when i was a child, we had a tiny little dog named igor who was half chihuahua and half toy poodle. ugliest dog you ever saw but he had an abundance of personality. i am not overly fond of poodles, however, even halves of them, so i always thought going for the real deal would be a pretty good idea. plus there is that whole pocket dog concept -- you have to love anything you can smuggle into a movie with you. greyhounds are cool too -- all skinny and muscular. i love to watch them run and i would just as soon take a couple into my home after they have finished their careers as see them put to sleep. i reckon if i had one, i'd have to exercise more as i can't imagine they would be happy with a five minute walk once a morning. run, dog, run! run, claire, run! bow wow wow, claire
