Posted July 09, 2009 00:33 Monster Creation 101:Introduce dog to family, observe and chortle with evil glee as wife, who swears she's not a dog person, becomes infatuated. Giggle as children also become infatuated. Ignore signs of own infatuation. Not possible - I'm an adult, and a rescuer, to boot - I'm above canine man... 0 comment My sheep-herding sister, blast her EeeEEeevil soul, long had a nefarious plot to get me into the BC world. Hesitently, and with resistence, I was pulled in step by step - First reading BC-related boards, then posting there, then doing rescue work, and finally... A BC of my own. OK, maybe Suka'...
