TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, August 23, 2010
Greetings Infomaniacs,
How many of you out there are pet lovers? It seems like
there are either "dog people" or "cat people" among pet
owners. I like both, but I prefer having a dog as a pet. I
had a dog all through my childhood, and I can't wait until I
am able to get another one. Right now I live in a condo where
dogs are not allowed, but I hope to be moving soon and
hopefully then I will be able to get a dog of my own!
Enjoy!
