of course context is everything... we were discussing dogs not emission tests for our cars or international flights of heightened security or dental appts. for that matter normal people would consider calling a particular breed a 'pain in the butt' a bad characterization... as opposed to a good characterization hence a 'pain in the butt' thing, one (at least a normal person!) concludes a bad thing (WRT dogs, of course!) dog ownership is purely elective ergo, it would seem normal that a person would not consider 'pain in the butt' dogs a good thing... (as i said, unless you of course are masochistic, then i guess it could be a very good thing! do recall i made that exemption!)
