Chinese Year of the Dog 2006

[black magic]

Little known but important fact:
Jan 29 began the year of the dog on the Chinese calendar. There is no year of the Salty Dog, but I think this is close enough. So when you see a dog whom you haven't seen since last year be sure your greeting includes "happy new year of the dog to ya".

John, that's funny, I don't care who you are!

We could use a little more such trivia from you. You have such great humor and we get to see so little of it!

Where I come from, every year is 'The Year Of The Dog'.

Mark and the dog.
