Wasn't there then a line of pregnant pound puppies? And you could get anywhere from 1 to 4 puppies inside the dog? I god-damned loved Transformers and Voltron. <br /><br />I had a bit of a gender-identity issue <i>(but that's all in the past, <b>Buddy Boy</b>! *grabs crotch and spits*)</i> as a kid. I vividly remember only wearing one earring for a time in the 80's <i>(as this was the height of masculinity at the time)</i>. That, coupled with my mullet, I felt got me closer to being where I wanted to be.Joan Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513335615114222374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-43359303710044224182010-12-21T11:50:07.252-06:002010-12-21T11:50:07.252-06:00LMAO! we also had pound puppies.

I named him Poundy.
