So what are my other names? And my 'personal' reason for not owning dog is because I'm not allowed to keep one where I've lived for 12 years. Complain to my landlord, not me.

I have in the past owned a dog. Her name was 'Kuma' (Japanese for 'bear'), and I've never seen her better among canines. She protected me, my children and my home (she didn't even like to see my kids get a whuppin' and would try to put herself between them and whichever parent was doing the disciplining--usually my wife). Her loss, though from old age, was painful to the point where I couldn't bring myself to get another one. So what else do you think you know about me?

BTW, I post under my own name. Easily verifiable. Seriously doubt "Joe Smith 543" is your real name.  Moat.  Beam.
