My friend Angela has a dog, the dog's name is Humphrey. Humphrey is a girl. Oh so friendly — an almost too friendly dog sometimes — because when people come over Humphrey jumps on them all crazy, and Angela has to yell "No Humphrey no!" Actually I don't know if Angela has ever yelled exactly that — but something to that effect, I'd guess. But she didn't have to yell that when I walked through her … [Read more...] about White Dogs Can’t Jump
