About lacithedog

I'm a Powderpuff Chinese Crested who likes romantic comedies, Long walks, chasing rodents (especially squirrels), sleeping, running, and hanging with my human companion. I have loads of hairless dogs in my family despite the fact I am a powderpuff. It upsets me greatly that dogs are not allowed to chase Squirrels in England under their dumb anti-hunting laws! Despite that fact, I am a member of the Connaught Square Squirrel Hunt in London. A very intelligent canine. I've gone to court more than Harriet Miers and most US Law School professors ever have. I am ghost written by my human companion. I actually live in the Second largest English speaking city at the time of the War for American Independence. These are my opinions and I don't care if you read this. I don't really want to hear from you--unless you agree with me or can offer intelligent and constructive comments. And I refuse to sell out (no ads here).

That about says it all…

or why I hate US elections and am happy that I have somewhat insulated myself from them:
