I didn't mean for this to be a list thread, but anyway...

The bottom two pictures were originally linked to some very nice puppy
pictures on our site, but now go to one ugly dog and one mangy dog.
FWIW, you'd be surprised how hard it is to actually find pictures of ugly
dogs. I figured it'd be easy, but this was the best I can do.
I think I replaced the pictures in spring. They still haven't figured out
the pictures were changed. Note all the heavy-handed copyright warnings at
the bottom of the page.
Since supposedly they have their own puppies for sale, not sure why they
felt compelled to lift our pictures. Nevertheless...
Anyway, back to MGs...
