Its not a guy movie, but it brought this gay guy to the edge of tears. The last scene was breath taking: a herd of wild horses on the outer banks of North Carolina go rumbling by. The scene is tremendous, and Diane Lane, a remarkable actress, makes it all very worth while. I just watched “Nights of Rodanthe” with Diane Lane and Richard Gere.

The yard was gated and the dog was always up front. The owner wanted her paper between the front doors, meaning I had to open the gate w/out letting the dog out then spend 10 minutes maneuvering my way to the door. The dog had a little playfulness and a little protectiveness. At times it involved some full body contact and getting chewed. While I haven't met an animal I didn't love, with 40 more stops, that big guy was a bit of a pain in @$$. When I was a kid I had a large paper route with a Great Dane at one house.

You'll find on this blog that the majority <strong>are</strong> responsible pet "owners" who love their four-legged family, me included. As for the book <em>Time to Eat the Dog, </em>, I think I'll take a pass. Then you should have been more clear and mentioned unwanted pets rather than taking on the entire system of pet ownership.

I support all efforts to protect the pets we have and to do our best to prevent the proliferation of unwanted pets. Many are unaware of the disastrous effects of pet ownership on our environment--a cause many on the left have taken up--without looking in their own back yards. I’m certainly not judging.
