That's so funny! I had a friend with a blond afghan that was beautiful, but--oh my, the blond hair my friend had to sweep up daily!

Loved the limerick, I had an Afghan Hound and your description is spot on. I read all your dog limericks and out of the 6 dogs I’ve had you covered 5 of them. If you do requests my current girl is a Blue Heeler. John

A Blue Healer? My. (Actually a Blue Heeler, or Australian Cattle Dog). How about -- Part Collie part Koolie part dingo My dog’s a dead-ringer for Ringo He'll round up a steer Then go out for a beer And on Sundays he loves to play bingo
