One of my favourite memories of Rudy saying "Why. Must.Rain?!"
Rudy the Rottweiler making a sad face because he is being subjected to water falling from the sky.

I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis. Fascism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up your neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you... It doesn't walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution" "In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think is the absence of empathy. Quote: Captain G.M.Gilbert, the army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg Trials.

Morning snow. Not enough to satisfy a husky, but it's a start.
