One of my first memories, from when I was a baby, is of the time my parents had taken me to one of their friend's houses. They had a big dog. And the dog walked right up to me, turned around, and unloaded an enormous turd right in front of me. I think it was bigger than my head. I have been uneasy around dogs every since. At least they didn't attack me. Every time chairdogs come up, I feel deeply disgusted.
