Re: [PyrNet-L] Funny thing last night.......

I am not one to scoff at anyone sitting on the floor with their dog.  And
sometimes they sit on the couch or bed to watch TV with me.  My dogs have
their own Christmas stockings every year.  They have been my sole
companions on the many collecting trips throughout the SE US.  My Ph. D.
dissertation was dedicated to them.  Three new species of freshwater snails
are named in their honor.  But, I feel they had to endure the stress of it
all right along with me.  Also, Agatha Christy has dedicated some of her
mystery novels to her pups.  The list of things some of us credit to our
dogs goes on and on and the eccentric (some may say) things we do with them.
