              The little dog can't help it -they are bred that way . The French ....... well ? Richard In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. Orson Welles

                                Calling the Chihuahua a race of dog is like calling me an assembly programmer because I spent 2 minutes once with it (with assembly, not a Chihuahua.)

                                Ah but to really get the point across you have to: 1. Look like Paul Hogan 2. Say with incredible humour "That's not a dog. This is a dog" 3. Pull a Great Dane out from under your coat. On second thoughts, maybe it would be better if Chris did it. :laugh: Anna :rose: Homepage | My life in tears

                                        Ah but to really get the point across you have to: 1. Look like Paul Hogan 2. Say with incredible humour "That's not a dog. This is a dog" 3. Pull a Great Dane out from under your coat. On second thoughts, maybe it would be better if Chris did it. :laugh: Anna :rose: Homepage | My life in tears
