Finding the perfect pet
If you choose your dog for its personality -- not just its looks -- you're barking up the right tree

Beauty is as beauty does.
That's the advice a savvy horse trainer gave Andrea Arden of Manhattan when she laid eyes on a deliriously beautiful thoroughbred and decided to buy him on the spot.
"I didn't understand what she meant until I took the horse on a trail and he almost slammed me against a tree," remembers Arden, who is a trainer of a smaller, furrier, more tennis-ball-loving species. "A lot of people aspire to have an animal that looks a certain way - kind of like middle-aged men who start dating young models because 'she's so pretty I want to be seen with her.'"

Hi all - Wow things have changed--but it looks great here. Thanks to Coleen for setting it up when things went down at Doggie Door and Anne for taking over.
Anyway--here's an article that was in the LI Newsday part 2 today.
