There are some cultures, I believe mostly Middle Eastern cultures, in which the idea of a dog as a pet or service animal is considered unclean so members of those communities use minihorses as service animals instead of dogs.

Different subject but can everyone please remember that tomorrow is World Homeless Day. Homelessness can affect any one, thankfully I'm not homeless anymore. If you see a homeless person please try to help, maybe a coffee, food, most homeless people I know are lonely and it doesn't take 2 minutes to ask how somebody…

I don’t like to compliment Lindsey Graham, but he would make an excellent Blanche Dubois.

But that’s where I keep all my stuff though!

why on Earth somebody who has a perfectly good thing with the royal family would even consider starting beef instead of just continuing to cash those royal checks

Mid century plus 5 here.... uh, had my first uh, well. Lets just say James Taylor’s Fire and Rain was prominent. I smile every time I hear it too.
