This is my new dog, Aloysius. Or just Al for short. I wish I could say I bought him to thumb my nose at some Iranian cleric, but that's not the case.
Although that guy is correct about them being unclean. Al didn't much like being in his kennel while we were gone, so the next day we decided to shut him in the bathroom, thinking he'd appreciate a little more wiggle room. (We're working on a fence in the backyard, but it's not finished yet).
I duct-taped cardboard over the inside of the door, and laid down newspaper over the entire floor. When I came home, I found that he had ripped the cardboard off the door, tore up all the newspapers, crapped on the floor, and in his ensuing frenzied attempts to get out, spread shit into every corner, nook, and cranny imaginable. There were little brown paw prints all over the wall. I wish I had taken a picture.
