About ten years ago, I met a man at the University who was finishing his PhD in electrical engineering. We became friends. I found him to be a wise, hard working, and gentle, family man. One day he was walking down one of the main commercial streets and he saw a bubble window poking out of an animal grooming store. As he looked at the bubble he saw a display of a finely trimmed pink dog with a bow on its head, getting some sort of fluff treatment and its toe nails polished. He said he had never seen anything like this and that the people where he came from would never believe him if he told them he had seen this in America. It was quite a scene. For a while thought AbdelRahman might perish on the spot.

Hi Tim, I didn't know that about fundamentalist Muslims and dogs. Speaking of dogs, I have a little "personal anxiety" I'd like to share. Yesterday I called our local Animal Control officer on a guy at my gym. He'd left his dog (a lab) in the bed of his truck without bedding or water in 20-odd degree whether. This was the third or fourth time I'd seen her sitting there, in the middle of a busy parking lot. She wasn't tethered in the truck and she had no collar. What would you guys have done? BTW, I didn't know who the owner was.
