Fur-people.........

There was a time when I had several dogs. I found it almost impossible to think of them as anything but four-legged fur-people. Case in point - when I would leave the house for any extended period of time, I would leave the television on so they "wouldn't get bored". Now, I feel bad about that. If today someone were to force me for any length of time to watch what is considered "entertainment" coming through the boob-tube, I'd be hard pressed not to open a vein...........and my poor pups couldn't do that for themselves.......but I'm sure they would have, if they just had opposable thumbs.
