Hey, I've had a girl in my sig for almost as long as I've been on IW.
And Pugsley is NOT fictional, he's as real as a bite on the leg. Which you'd get if you went into our back yard without a member of the family. LOL, one day a crazy guy that I'd refused disablity came to our door and was raving and Pugggles got upset, even though I was holding him by the collar, and jumped at the guy, nearly pulling me down, and snapped right in front of his face, going ROOROOROOROO!. The guy turned white, requested his records, and beat a retreat. LOL.
