What's an "AGENT BATACH NUMBER"?

Anyway congrats to you sir!

That would be plural; "doggies"

1 - Rottweiler @85lbs - "Moose" aka: "Big Boy"
1 - Registered Boxer @90lbs - "Rocky" aka: "Bad Boy"
1 - Hound @80lbs - "Zeke" - aka: "Sneakers"
1 - Bull Mastiff @190lbs - "Taz" - aka: "Monster"

Here's the family portrait of "The Boys":

The one on the far left is one that walks by every day. Comes with a human to help keep away other humans. Tried to take a body part off today when I stopped the human to chat. Will know next time to not be to close. Nice looking doggies.

Oh I also forgot to vote, will do now.

Wow...I didn't think blackjack and hookers would be such a popular choice. Guess you guys really like 21, eh?

I'm now considering investing my imaginary money in oceanfront property in Idaho. Someone approached me today with a wonderful offer, and I'm very seriously considering it. What do you guys think?

Hey that would be great. You can have beach parties. Skinny on the weekend.

I have a great uncle who said he would be glad to sell the swamp land he has that could turn into gold once the casino is put on it. Told me to tell you to give him a call. 044-1-234-5647887

I don't think that our dog and yours would get along too well.



I think yours would think mine was a snack. The other one (didn't find a small picture of him) could be a snack. He's been naughty tonight.

Is it right that an animal usually looks like their owner? OR is it the other way around?

"Monster" weighs within a few lbs of what I do (190, 6'4"). I have seen him swallow several bones whole. It is kind of intimidating having that beast around. Some nights it sounds like the "Hounds of Baskerville" around here.

The boys (3-uncut) have developed a pack mentality from sentry through 2nd line enforcer. The spiked collars are to protect them from each other "in their morning dance" and other play, as well as to protect them from other preditors, in the countryside here.

Hmmmm? If I posted my dogs on here you would never know what to think. I have had about 4 dogs and each one was totally different than the last one. Right now I have a jack russell. She drives me crazy when I walk around the house on some days. She knows all I going to do is go to the kitchen to get a drink of water and come back to the office. Does she stay. NO Follows me around like a little puppy dog. :)

I say you buy FOX and turn it into the Family Guy/American Dad/Simpsons/Futurama channel.

Feel free to show a basketball or football game occasionally.
