I have a couple of dogs, too. Both of them are mutts, but I love them to death. Charlie (12 yrs. old) was a pound rescue, and looks a little like a blonde German Sheppard. Liefia (14 yrs. old) is a Britney (sp?) Spanial/ Retriever mix. Here's a shot of them hanging out in Telluride a few years ago. They really haven't changed much since.
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."
-Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless
