The Plan for Arnie, since Day 1, was for him to be a therapy dog. I love volunteering for hospitals/hospice/retirement homes, I live right next to a VA/childrens/regular hospitals, and Arnie is an incredibly happy, social dog. Its a natural fit.
But when Arnie was a puppy, it became clear that he…

In that picture of Arnie, he looks like he had made something for you, but he eated it. ;-)
Heh. Looks like your kind of people - linguistically speaking.

Owning that cat I had for 21 years taught me a couple of things, one was - never pull a cat's tail when you sleep on a waterbed.

Abby (and any other virus researchers):
I'm currently college shopping1, so do you know if there are any colleges/universities with good virology / molecular biology departments/people in Virginia2? I'll be an undergraduate, so I don't expect to find a virology degree available, but undergrad research...
