Kate: also not a colliething
Also not a colliething, here's a pretty grainy pic of Kate (another gem from the cell-phone). Kate is sometimes a beagle, sometimes a beagle/JRT mix, and always a pest. I'm posting it for the lady who told me that most people don't call their 'pampered pooches' 'bitch'. Well, it's true enough that Kate isn't as pampered as she would like to be, but she certainly isn't suffering - and we do call her 'the bitch'. Well, the 'other bitch', if you count me as alpha :)

I should also add that another nickname for Kate is the 'piss monster' (simply due to her tendency to want to go outside to piss so often in the evenings). One fun aspect of having dogs around is being able to speak your mind without guarding your tongue. Can you imagine calling one of those small-bladdered women who needs to stop every 100 miles on a roadtrip a 'piss monster'? To her face?  ¶ 4:27 PM
