              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

                That's not french slang. Chihuahua refers to a particular race[^] of dog.

                Whatever you do don't feed it after midnight and for heavens sake don't get it wet! That's not a dog - it's a gremlin! :suss:
