Thanks, I seriously needed to hear that.

Do any of you Jezzies have experience with giant dog breeds? The first and only dog I've had before my current one was a 12lb Pomeranian. I loved that dog like a baby, until my real baby came along and he HATED her, and my husband said the dog- not the baby- had to go. (he went to a friend's…

I KNOW, RIGHT? This picture OMG.

I cannot stop looking at the picture on top. I want to caption it so badly, but I'm drawing a blank. Any ideas?

Oh goodness, I think I hurt your feelings. :(

Naaaaailed it.
