There's just something about the unconditional love a dog gives. It's hard to describe, but needs no description if you've had a dog. Our boxer just died recently and very suddenly. It was pretty devastating, and she was very young. Would be 6 this coming Thursday. She was a leapt year baby. She was my daughter's dog and she was looking forward to having her with her next year as both my girls are getting an off campus apartment next fall. We were left with 2 dogs that don't get along very well, one will be leaving in the fall as well.
Of course, my wife has never not had a boxer. (The other 2 are a black lab and an old English bulldog) so she and my daughter decided to get new puppies. Yes, plural. One for the us and one for my daughter for when she goes back. It's insane. We also want the foster kids to have a dog that they can consider theirs. Or at least that's how my wife is selling it to me.
Of course there are names.
My daughter can chose the name of hers since it's hers. Luna.
My other daughter came up with the thought that they should all have L names to match. (Bulldog is Lilly, the lab is Toby, but nevermind that)
Someone suggested Leo. Kids liked it, my wife liked it. I really didn't. So we compromised,
He'll be named Leo. And I get to stay inside.

There is something about it. And to me, it's just amazing that it has been going on since before humans had much of a civilization to speak of.
It gave me a badly-needed warm fuzzy feeling.

Two things:
A. We need to change the name of the thread to "pets kept humans 14K years ago."
2. Vince is insane.
III. We need more insane people like Vince.
