Liz is thrilled about the prospect of adopting a dog from her local animal shelter, but she is a bit nervous about the fact that she doesn't know much of anything about the dog she likes the most. Her friend, Hector, tells her that she knows plenty. She asks him how he knows, and he tells her that it's quite simple. Liz wants a dog that's like her beloved pet, Rover, who lived to a ripe old age before succumbing to a heart attack. Rover was a mutt -- some combination of Pit Bull, Boxer, and Lab. He was also large -- at least 60 lbs -- very cuddly, smart, and friendly. The shelter dog appears to be a combination of Pit Bull and Lab, is large, and appears friendly. She decides that this dog is probably also cuddly and smart.

I don't understand why the military can’t get along without more money. We're all tightening our belts, and the military is no different from any other organization on a budget.
