Now Daphne, I sent them a letter years back asking to be on their program. As I understand it they have programs that pay farmers to not produce crops to keep everything stable, and what with Hunte and all, I was figuring there was an over supply of dogs, what with shelters full and dogs being rescued and all. So I told them I would be glad to get on their program of not producing dogs if they'd send me the money for not doing so. So far, I ain't heard from them, so I figure they should just leave me alone until they are ready to pay up.
