This face will run outside with your underwear if you dare to turn your attention away from it.
This face will then come back inside with sticks and other outside shmutz, because you didn’t chase after it.
This face will eat all sorts of gross stuff, then want to breathe on you and kiss you.
This face will whine at you when you’re not moving quickly enough to meet its demands.
This face will make “yum yum” noises when it gets a treat, and grunty noises when you scratch its neck.

Oh yeah, our dogs do that. And the crap they bring in from outside is probably more disgusting than what yours does. We have horses. Enough said?
Whew – you win this round!
Well, if I have to be owned, that’s a face I’d love to own me
Actually, the dogs’ and cats’ most favorite thing to do is to lick their the area just below the base of the tail — really clean it up good! — and come over for a big, fat, sloppy, wet kiss!! I think that trumps sticks and garbage. I know, I know — it’s not a competition. But we love them anyway, don’t we? Riv
