happy camping dog

Thanks to my allergic reaction to dogs that comes in the form of asthma and itchy, watery eyes, the doc says I can never have a canine in the family. My dog-owning friends often mistake my allergy for a hatred of dogs. That's not true. I enjoy the company of dogs and scratching behind their ears. I just can't do it very long, and I have to wash my hands right after.  It sure would be cool to have a frisbee buddy like this dude.

Mark, did you have the same reaction to Ian's dogs on the Mojave trip? Those dogs are uber rare breed with hypo-allergenic pelts or something weird like that. Only a couple breeders in the entire nation, so not a casual purchase, but they are smart, strong, loyal, and long lived animals that make terrific pets.

...and they begged for food just like every other dog I've met. :-)
