Trixie" in all her 'arbored beauty is perhaps the most original one in the lot...loved all the others too--second choice the wrinkled-one who must have been the predecessor to the shar-pei.

Up until now, I respected your publication, but with your "sponsored link" to Money Morning's inflammatory and baseless article about Obamacare, I will not be purchasing anything again or reading any more of your emails.

There are some seriously obscure/fun Dino's here, but there's a missing set: The Prehistoric Gardens in Oregon. Unforgettable!

Although the one with lipstick and pearls was cute, I'd have to go with the one that "eats union soldiers" as my favorite.
