Trek, we have equally interesting experiences with our dogs. I have two rotts (see baby pic in avatar) and people are either terrified, or convinced that their entire reputation is a bad rap and they are really just big babies. Maybe, just maybe there might be a middle ground - nah, how silly, next you will tell me about that "gray" thing people keep trying to convince me exisits. And the number of people who suggest that their kids pat a strange dog on its back or near its hip - uggghhhh
Lise, don't know what to suggest about guys. They don't care what they look like, they all want 20-year-old models who are virgins. You know the joke, "why do all the rock stars date 20 year old bimibos? because they can!" The right one has got to be out there somewhere.
About the 9#+ baby - is this a natural delivery? That is truely impressive.
MP that ride looks awesome, but I think I would need a couple of years to get ready for it. Especially at altitude. We ski in Colorado every year and it always seems that just when I am starting to adjust we are heading back home.
