I am from Brooklyn, NY, so we could not have many pets, but I always had at least two dogs.

I am a New Yorker.

Once you have an animal, you have to commit to it. They need a sense of freedom, but, of course, they must have some boundaries. I am against hitting them though; just send the vibe and that will do it.

I am as confounded by dogs as I am indebted to them.

I don't have two different personalities. I am what I am.

I am guilty of asking the Senate for pork and proud of the Senate for giving it to me.
