Buffalo Gal

A proud Labradoddle owner was showing pictures to the group last night. As most oohed and ahhed over the adorable golden pup, I couldn't get the disturbing image of the apparent conception out of my mind. Was her father a big, bad bully lab or extremely optimistic poodle? Either way, as my brother would say...
"That ain't right."
I have no problem with non-traditional couplings. Interracial, interfaith, and same sex unions work out just fine with commitment and perseverance. Concidentally, the same formula required for traditional pairings.
But there are some twosomes that may be too fundementally flawed for even the grandest passion.
If she swoons for Cher and her mourned Zevon for a month, no go.
Same for morning people and night owls.
Hunters and vegetarians.
Republicans and Democrats. (Excluding self-made media creations like James Carville and Mary Maitlin together and Arianna Huffington by herself).
Couch potatoes and tri-athletes.
Sippers and slurpers.
Writers and artists with other writers and artists. For that matter, writers and artists with anyone.
Still, you see these pairings occur as a daily triumph of hope over experience.
Labradoodles have to come from somewhere.
