I pulled today's pic of the day from an 'adopt a dog' website - just a reminder, if you want a dog, there are so many out there looking for good homes (and who could resist a face like this?)
I wish I could have a garden and more free time to have a dog. Don't see the point to have a dog in a flat if you can't offer him regular acitvities including real walks and not only "let's get down the the stairs so you can use the pavement as loo" as many Paris inhabitants do, and still a majority forget about cleaning after their dogs.
