Dogs and Ponies

Dogs and ponies are our animal friends. Just don't ever feed dog food to a pony or try to put horseshoes on a dog.

RATING: 86%, because 12% of dogs and 2% of ponies will maul Glenn's face if he gets too close.

I hope Vicky Hearne has a blog so she can link us.

Did you write this post just so you could put up that awesome photo of the dog riding the pony?

Not exactly. I had the phrase "Dog and Pony show" stuck in my head, and then when I googled it I was amazed at how many pictures of dogs and ponies there actually were.

Hearne's dead, alas, but if she were alive I suspect she might be less than overwhelmed by the level of insight and maturity expressed in this particular post.
