My brother had a wonderful English Springer. She was affectionate & fun & really intelligent. There’s a big difference in them depending on whether they’re field dogs or bench (show) dogs.

“There should be an email distribution list for where we want to tell everyone something super hilariously funny but we’re worried about it being in the public domain.”
There is jackal. My Crackberry. 🙂
“It’s so obvious that is the type of dog breed that just needs a huge farm to run around in and tire itself out and not be cooped up in someone’s apartment or house with small yard!”
Exactly. This type of dog requires plenty of activity and is best suited to someone with a farm or ranch which gives the dog plenty of room to sprint and run around.

See you all later- the Great EVLL and I are off to run errands.
Run errands = cruise men of color
“I mean, can’t you re-create pet ownership by burning a bunch of money, picking homeless people’s shit out of the subway, rubbing animal hair into all of your clothing and then talking to some inanimate object as if it cares what you have to say? What’s the difference?”
Well for one thing, the intimate object can’t bite a burglar in the ass if he tries to break into your house.

how does a cruise ship have so much influence in the economy?
**
– The cruise company pays fees and taxes to the port and city. The port employs mariners whose duties include servicing the ship in a variety of ways when it pulls into port. By international law (U.N.-based International Maritime Organization), every major cruise ship in every port in the world must be guided into port by a local pilot.
– The cruise company buys supplies and services in the port city; everything from waste disposal services to provisions.
– The cruise ship passengers and the employees (those who have the time to go ashore) spend money in local businesses and use local services.
– Local travel agents who sell cruise vacations employ themselves and others, generating economic activity.
Those are a few of the ways.
I don’t understand why people get pets. You just have to feed it and pick up its shit, and it doesn’t carry on your genes and is probably just a dumb ball of fur. What’s the attraction?
