QED

cat dander gets everywhere, litter boxes stink, cats are dangerous to pregnant women because of the diseases they carry.

For me it would be a choice between having a dog or having nothing. Cats are stupid and worthless.

For 25+ years, Mrs. PAC adamantly rejected my six kids' wishes to have a dog. "I do kids, not dogs," was her oft-repeated line. Pretty much the only pets we had ever allowed in the home were sea monkeys.

But as the kids left the roost, and with the prospect of the sixth kid being all alone, she broke down and got a bichon frise, Louie (so named because the car radio was playing the Kingsmen's classic on the way home from the breeder). Overall, and despite its apparent need to pee somewhere in the house when he spots a cat outside, he's been great and we're glad we added him to the fold.

QED

Can your cat retrieve a dead pheasant? I didn't think so.

I love dogs, especially Golden Retrievers.

Stinky, sweaty, jumpy breed. I prefer labs.

Me too. They have great trade value, I have heard.

Dogs rule. As SU would say, we're done discussing this. I win.

As for breeds, retrievers, labs, German short-hairs, Rotties - the bigger the better, especially if you have kids.

We had a cat about 6 years ago that wouldn't just retrieve a dead pheasant, but he would go find the pheasant and kill it.

Why do I think your story about how your wife came up with the name is just a cover? I'm guessing that your daughter is finally getting through to you and you're now pretty much a Ute fan. She named the dog after Sakoda, right? You're amongst friends. You can tell us.

I agree, family dogs are an American past-time. I love pets! I will convince Surfah sooner or later, our daughter is already a HUGE animal lover, she really gets the water works going when she has to say bye to an animal. We will have a pet eventually, I know it. And it will be like member of our family.

I swear the story is accurate, as I was the one driving and pronounced the choice inspired. Had I named the dog after a Ute favorite, he would answer to the name, "Kaneshiro."

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
