Catherine the Great actually died of a stroke while performing her natural body functions on a toilet. The horse story is and has always been a rumor, not fact. Just so everyone knows!
Its now over two years since anyone posted to this thread, does this mean all intrest has evapourated?
This practice is still an important part of my life, although I'm currently between partners of the K9 kind. My oldest partner passed away late last year, although it was expected it was still a shock. I'm now searching for a puppy of the same breed (English Bull Mastiff) and sex (male) to hopefully fill the empty space in my heart.
No - Im sure others are still interested but when they got rid of the beast stories the majority may have left for other places more accepting of them.
