Jim...you need to send her a pic of you and Polo!!!
Real men LOVE dogs. It is a shame that some of the most compassionate ones are the ones that taunt.
I have all kinds of dog pics, VERY LARGE calendar, stuffed dogs and a cat on my desk...and a white flag. I surrender!!! If I can't be with my animals for the 8-9 hrs I'm at work, I need to have the visuals!!! I think you should be able to too.
Good luck, wishing you the best in your situation.
