Everytime I get one those stupid emails, I go to truthorfiction copy the link and hit reply to all.

It is one of my all-time fave pics of her. We keep meaning to recreate it, in better light, and with one of our miniature poodles "driving" the John Deere lawn tractor beside it.

You guys have to belive it, its on the internet. Everybody knows everything on the internet is true............. isnt it?

I read and research form SEVERAL different sources, and decide for myself. I never take any site or persons oppinions to be fact untill I have done a little research myself.

From the Snopes reply:

So, as always, be wary of unsourced, anonymous e-mails. They typically come from people who don't check facts and disdain any information that doesn't conform to their biases. Fact-checking sites with long established histories of reliability are good places to start when you receive such e-mails:

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/snopes.htm

My dad is the resident email alarmist. I got soooo sick & tired of the emails that I started responding to him with the "don't send this stuff" message.

He kept doing it.

So then I started hitting "REPLY ALL" and copying the snopes, truthorfiction, & urbanlegends references for all his friends & relatives to see.

They thanked me!

I notice that Mahroni hasn't replied since his initial post...

I've been thinking the same thing. I have three thoughts on this:

1. Mahroni is a smart guy. Having graduated from dental school, he clearly has a level of intelligence.

2. Mahroni is LDS. He's probably worked on his family history. First rule of family history is that more than one source is needed before proof of evidence is accepted. Sources must be considered to be reputable - using primary source documents for the highest level of proof. All secondary sources are given less weight but multiple secondary sources with differing origins can add weight when no primary sources are available.

Given numbers one and two . . .

3. Mahroni was having fun with this in the first place and is enjoying the discussion.

I can't clip them any other way--I'm a nut about a clean face. Recently, my clipper blades gave out before I did their feet, so I had a couple who were close-clipped all over, but with shaggy feet. They looked like Dr. Suess Poodles!

Delta is black, but I do have one blue one, Reggie.
