I am reminded of a Disney film with a line something like, "...because everybody's got to have a weakness. For Pandora, it was the box thing, and the Trojans - hey - they got on the wrong horse." And what a weakness to have. I think we both know how wonderful pets can be, even if they do drag us mercilessly through fields or chew on our arms ;->. I guess you can always look at it this way:

Let's put it this way. While they might feel almost weightless at rest (meaning during sleep), each of them (at all other times) seems to pull on his respective tether with a continuous 15-pound force. If there had been eight of them ... we would still be working our way down the river ... cutting our own trail through the tall fragrant grasses ... doggies clearly in charge ... chasing rabbits and birds and butterflies through the flowers toward unknown worlds of canine dreams ... Captain? I think not. Mostly just a very lucky boy along for a marvelous ride. /ehj2 Well, “captained” is certainly an interesting term for a role that consisted primarily in being dragged willy-nilly over hill and dale, often in at least two directions at once … and loving every “we’re dogs and we drink life with gusto” minute of it.
