Here is a pic of the family dog Barkley. He's an English Black Lab.

He was trained along with his liter mates by Guide Dogs of America to be a seeing eye dog. Unfortunately he was disqualified at the very end of his training because he has a drooling problem. Now he lives here in south Carolina with my family and is a therapy dog that visits the elderly and children who are sick in the hospital.

Here he is at the lake up the street. Its one of his favourite places to go for a walk. Usually because he likes to run into the flocks of geese there and be a goof ball.

Personally i think being a cat would be pretty spiffy as a pet. Nobody telling you what to do and just about any of your behaviour would have to be accepted because youre a cat and what are you gunna do.

Barkley sounds like a good dog, probably really social and intelligent I'd say, considering his line of work. A shame he didn't get to help out blind people but the job he's doing now is just as important I think.

Oh yes, being a cat wold be a pretty good life, I guess provided one had a good family to look after them. My cats are treated better than human beings to be honest, the best food, medical care and the ability to do what they want, when they want...I think being one of my cats wouldn't be too bad at all!
