-
- Oh I think "feelings and love" and "nudity and sex" can blend nicely in life
- and art, but as someone who has recently become a delighted (and doting) dog
- owner for the first time since childhood, I'm troubled that Madonna includes
- a canine in her shenanigans. Frederick the Great supposedly said,
-
- "The more I see of men, the better I like my dog."
-
- I assume that's your generic, all inclusive, pre-nonsexist-language "men,"
- and that Fred would have included Madonna as runner up to pleasures of a
- good animal friend.
