Doesn't lie or cheat on you. <br />It's better than a husband or a dog, <br />but the conversation is not very stimulating, <br />among other things... <br />Nah, gotta keep trying with men and pets!! <br />No way around it!! <br />;)~ <br />HUGZBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-65768782789756762412013-02-17T21:46:43.258-05:002013-02-17T21:46:43.258-05:00The history of Terri the turtle is indeed a mournf...The history of Terri the turtle is indeed a mournful tale.
