So I'm in Entertainment Weekly #878 this week,...

...for a letter I wrote defending my cockapoo against aspersions on his status as an accessory, and they cropped him from the picture (leaving only the schnauzer and mal-tzu visible)! Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh... :banghead:

1. nothing 'obsessive' about defending your dog :-)

Those who would buy certain breed of dog because it's 'in' will loathe it when it's 'out'. Getting a pet is a commitment that needs to be based on love and devotion, not showing off! Nice l'il blurb, btw! Congrats!

2. Yeah, when they called...

...asking for a pic, they didn't mention the word "obsessive," just "fan of the week." I'd probably have sent it to 'em anyways, but "obsessive" has a certain negative connotation with which I'm a tiny bit uncomfortable. In any case, you're right: nothing obsessive about writing a tongue-in-cheek email to defend your dog!
