Nice to hear. You can see more of it in the Religion Section right now.

P.S. Don't let the avatar fool you.

Wherever he goes dogs, cats, horses, you name it, will go directly to him for attention. It used to scare him but now, as he is older, he tolerates it but he has never cared for it and wishes he could stop it.

I loved dogs when I was little. We visited some friends in the country. They had a dog chained up. I walked up to it to pet it. And it jumped on me and its claws scratched my neck up real good. Hurt bad.

So after that, I loved dogs. And continue to love dogs.

One of my friends, an old man, had it right. For most people, if a black kid treated you bad once, the rest of them are "niggers." Mexicans? "Wetbacks." Whites? "Honkeys, crackers." Etc.

Some people just can't stop generalizing from one bad experience.

Of course it goes without saying that you are a vastly superior human being. Perhpas we should just have that as a postualte to be accepted when people sign up?

Putting aside whether my son is displaying some sort of character weakness, particualrly when compared to you, I iwll say that IMO animals like him becasue he is a very gentle and calm person. His demenaor is rarely threatening and he exudes a certain security that I think animals like. Either that or he smells real good.
