I'm a Bichon Bolognese.  Since I love Bolognese sauce on pasta... hmmm,
better not go there! :)

I am a Finnish Spitz. Fancy that. Never heard of them before although the
picture looked a bit like Exo's Raki.

A friend of mine used to have a Finnish spitz. A very sweet d*g as I
recall. Looks a lot like those sled-pulling d*gs (IIRC).

Yep, they do, only they're smaller and are actually used for hunting,
not sled-pulling.

Here's the Finnish Spitz

ROFL! It was a fun game...and the movie looks interesting, to say the least.
I turned out to be a Norwegian Elkhound (?) whose photo looks for all the
world like the RB Akita I used to own, but a strange color. He loved all the
cats, having grown up with them
as surrogate parents, and had especial fondness for one.

Neat! I was a Bichon Bolognese.
That was a game we used to play at the shelter--figuring out what breed
people were....they always said I was a rat terrier. Partly becuase of
size, and partly because they said I "hang on to something (an issue)
and won't let go.".....I don't think that was a compliment!
Thanks for posting. That's a fun site.

Do you have naturally curly hair?  Maybe they just automatically make

>Do you have naturally curly hair?  Maybe they just automatically make

I usually term it "raunchy", but "curly" was the closest fit in the list.  I
think your assessment is probably correct.

I'm really, really upset - can't finish the taxes for the first time in my
life.  Something happened in March, 1997, that I don't understand, and it
affects the tabulation of a stock that was sold last year.  So I've wasted a
day of vacation to arrive at a screeching halt.  I've just filed for an
extension and am sitting here feeling sorry for myself.  

At least Thalia is jumping up on the huge file of current and past years' tax
records to get affection every few minutes.  The others are ignoring me -
probably can sense the black cloud hanging over the computer and myself.  I'm
in charge of the Tuesday and Thursday evening rides for my bicycle club, and
let me tell you, we're going to see some *significantly* steep climbs tonight
as I try and pound out the frustration of the tax situation.  There's going to
be PAIN involved.

A lot of companies that create problems in figuring the basis on their stock

This company didn't, but gave amazingly quick response to an emailed inquiry
and provided a very plausible scenario for what happened.   I still won't try
to get the taxes filed on time, but at least I understand how to handle this
one situation (before moving onward to the next crisis in the return, whatever
it might turn out to be.)

With at least 20 file folders stacked up or otherwise positioned throughout
the room, it's just a matter of time until one of the cats causes a, uh,
catastrophe.  It will be either Calico, because she comes running into the
room and jumps at high speed, or Watermelon Man, whose 19 pound bulk can send
things routinely flying.   Maybe I should get some big rubber bands that fit
around file folders!

Random cat here!

Also known as an alley cat or a mutt. You aren't given to
high-falutin' ways, but you're accessible and popular. People love you

On this one I'm an Ocicat.  I agree with this one more than the Sphinx from
the other test.

Diane

The Ocicat is both playful and devoted. She may spring into action on a whim
at any moment, or languidly pass an hour away in the lap of a loved one. The
Ocicat is happiest with friends and struggles at being solitary for any
period of time. Her exotic, no-fuss coat is a breeze to maintain, and
looking her best comes easily. Inquisitive by nature, she gets into trouble
from time to time. But any trouble is soon forgotten because she is off on a
new adventure in a flash!
