Interesting. But I liked the vampire theory better.

LOL

I love naked necks.. :)

LOL Porkpal! This is a breed I could never own, I'd be running around trying to put salve on their necks and bandage them up.

Sorry but I have always loved the ladies that dress well. I'm with you Annie and I'm just not into Fluffy Butt Ugly...Haystack

Now Fluffy Butts are OK but those bear, raw and chilly looking necks? No thanks. Like Annie, I'd have to make them wear neck warmers or something.
