Let's just say an unfortunate incident with a pile of horse crap still haunts me. After three weeks with this puppy, I have come to believe that there is no such thing as a clean dog.

I've encountered a lot of smelly dogs who will play games tirelessly but bark (in protest?)when I play pop music. A clean pet who loves to dance but hates sports sounds pretty good to me.

To be honest, I can't quite make head or tail of it, because I don't see how normal, rational human adults could go this route. I thought, perhaps, the restaurant staff misheard "gay" for "guide" and, thinking Mr J was either crazy or joking, said "Sorry sir, we don't allow gay dogs in here." Because maybe they really don't allow dogs. Then madness ensues. I think we're all relieved I didn't go that extra mile. Probably Mani the most. The story is just ridiculous.

I also love the author of that article. He writes a lot of great stuff relating to patterns of thought and human behavior. On thing I didn't bring up in this article is that I'm not so sure behavior alone dictates sexuality. Perhaps maybe a string of behaviors that all add up together and reflect an overall perception of the self. But not just one behavior. Or even the 20 described here in that video.

It sorta trumps the “it's not natural” argument that some people have with homosexuality. But that's another topic. This article was quite enjoyable to read, although it really hurts my heart to think pets and their owners can suffer discrimination for being gay (even when they're not). Either way that picture of your dog is adorable . Perhaps with the tally you have he could be bisexual? But I think your dog's sexual preference is probably only a small part of who he is, just like for us humans. It’s interesting to read about sexual variation in the animal kingdom.

Can't decide if I'm disappointed or relieved that you chose not to go the extra mile to determine Mani's sexuality. Do you think photos of gay dogs are allowed on Facebook?
