I don't have a picture of my dog available right now. I do have some that I can scan, and then post or send to you. That way, you, too, can admire just how adorable she is. She's a Chow/Golden retriever mix named "Chewy."

Um, forgive me for nit-picking, but by saying "my dog" aren't you perpetuating the human-dominated, slave/master hegmony that PETA is supposed to be overthrowing? I can't imagine anyone who actually draws a paycheck from this organization making a casual slip like that.

In case you're really interested (which I just have the feeling you're not--your trying pick a fight and flame this thread) I am my dog's "guardian," not owner. I could also say something like "Jane Doe is my friend." Does that imply that I own Jane Doe, too?

Stupid argument. Please give me another reasonable suggestion as to how to construct the sentence I used without using the word "my."
