It's hypothetical, no matter where you live.

Of course it's not.

Of course it is. And for the reason I stated.

Tell you what - I'll get back to you after you indicate that you
don't have hypothetical dogs.

I DON'T HAVE HYPOTHETICAL DOGS. Now what?
While it is a logical error to consider your personal history in judging
the correctness of what you write, life is not primarilly about logic,
and we will use the prejudices formed by how you present (or don't
present) yourself in deciding whether to read what you write and how to
react to what you write. There are often good reasons for keeping some
aspects of your life private in any forum: things such as your email
address, physical address, or details about a significant other. However
it is difficult for me to imagine how those reasons can extend to the
details of your dogs, and in practice those who have avoided giving such
details have had agendas that made their postings an unwarented
distraction: people such as Jerry Howe with his general craziness;
chardonay with her obsession with "miracle cures"; or Handsome Jack with
his need to exercise his ego. So far your tendency to overquote, over
explain, and not admit your mistakes gives me little reason to value
what you write.
