    Hee!

    Take the damn dog. Yes.

    My husband may paste this ad up on our local boards, as he hates my dog.

    Sigh.

    Poop is always good for a giggle. I have a dog, but not a backyard. How do I contact you?

    Hm, wonder if I can get rid of a couple of cats this way. Or maybe I just need to give away my sense of smell. (Damn cat box!)
