<p class=MsoNormal>Yes.. that subject line said LINT…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>now us humans, we have “innies” and “outties”
when it comes to belly buttons, and those of us with innies sometimes have “naval
lint” there. Usually it happens when wearing something new that
hasn’t lost much of its lint-y-ness yet.. you “outties”
probably don’t get to discover this present when in the shower or
wherever checking out your button happens.. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>but .. I’ve never checked mine and been the recipient
of lint every day.. never.. but I’ve a hound.. and I could get the
opportunity to rub his belly just about as often as I see him in the day.. and
he’s ALWAYS got some lint there.. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>now mind you… for a hound the lint is usually
oh-natu-ral … ie.. hair-n-stuff .. sometimes maybe a bit of a leaf is
there.. BUT he’s got no “inny” its nearly flush there..
except that he gets wads of loose hair … and again sometimes with leafs ..
so what is the deal??<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve two other hounds, and neither of them have this
happen as frequently.. now mind you the one this happens too, isn’t svelte,
nor is he porky’s brother in the canine world… he’s just big
boned (and not cartman-esq, I mean he’s a stocky build of a hound / hound
bagel mix).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyone? I’m laying odds that it’s the manly
appendage that seems to be helping … think the front of an ice breaker on
a steam ship, since he’s low to the ground … or maybe some
navals are “magnets” for fluff?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If nothing else hopefully you’ll get a smile thinking
about it all.. wondering what its like to have a hound like him.. <span
style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span> Good mornin’ one and all!<o:p></o:p></p>
