It sounds to me BS> exactly what we teach (in most cases). Good to know! I've been feeling semi-sorta guilty all these years for 'teaching' him to do that. BS> I would have loved to have seen you with BS> Chance tucked under your arm! Oh, I'm told it was quite.. urrm.. entertaining. Chance and I were not as convinced of that. But it just goes to show that large hips have their uses. But geez, does reddish-golden dog hair clash with navy-blue suit wool! I will never forget one comment I overheard while 'cruising' up an escalator with him propped up on my hip that way: "Mommy! Mommy! Look at the lady with the big stuffed red dog!" (I often am asked if he's an Irish Setter, he's so red for a Golden-- my stock response is "Nah-- dog guides have to have brains") I nearly dropped him, I was laughing so hard. "stuffed dog"-- r-ight. I can see it now: "New from matel: it drools and sheds just like a real dog! You'll just love "Fido", our life-sized golden Retriever Pal! Only $99.95! Batteries not included." People say the silliest things. --Carla -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!129!89!Carla.Campbell Internet: Carla.Campbell@f89.n129.z1.fidonet.org
