I recently received e-mail from someone who found no humor and was possibly insulted by my WHY DOGS ARE BETTER THAN MEN page. That certainly was not my intent when I put up that page. I have been happily married for 16 years to a wonderful man, have a loving family and critters I absolutely adore. Still, there were days I might have been tempted to trade them all in for a cold Pepsi, a bag of peanuts and 5 minutes of peace and quiet if it had not been for our strong belief that a good sense of humor and an occasional hug make the world go round. So, to prove I can take it as well as dish it out, I decided to put this page up. This is for you Michaeal!
