Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

Thus, your dog has a street named after her in every town in Poland. But that picture is none too flattering.

Polish Peter: Yes, I notice that there are plenty of Emilia Plater Streets.
The dog looks a bit better than the Cloverfield monster (which is pictured).

mexican hairless or just mangy? very kind of you to take on such a commitment, hope there aren’t too many (or too severe) issues to work thru one never knows what’s inside the packaging.

I wouldn’t suggest breeding her….
March 13th, 2015 at 5:37PM
charlie, dmf: She’s actually a very pretty, small, black, Staffie. It’s just that her broad black head with widely spaced eyes immediately reminded me of the Cloverfield monster’s head (I have no idea why I love that movie), so it’s become a sort of joke in the family.
March 13th, 2015 at 5:59PM
Had to look up dmf, wow, sorry, just a joke….
March 13th, 2015 at 6:02PM
dmf’s the name of another University Diaries commenter.
March 13th, 2015 at 6:08PM
Oh, thanks for clearing that up…..
March 13th, 2015 at 8:01PM
Wow, that is a cute dog. I think it should bite you at least once for that picture you posted!
March 13th, 2015 at 9:47PM
gotcha hey does yer home-insurance know yet, if not you may want to remove all such info from public. great breed by the way i miss my deceased pitty but with so many restrictions popping up makes it difficult to take in another

Nice dog. Mrs. TP won’t let me have a big or medium size dog anymore–little guys in our house now.
