When you're home in Oz, what gets your tail wagging?

Darren: Actually, it's my dog! I have a cocker spaniel named Obi, after Obi-Wan-Kenobi (Star wars Character), He was just nine weeks old when I got him. Just before Christmas. He's beautiful. He's like a kid- all he needs is affection. He will forgo food for a pat on the head and I am his universe. I love that.

I'm sure you do. So tell me, does Oz have lot of wide-open spaces in which a young pup can frolic?

Darren: Yes, it's a huge country; Australia's as big as America, with a tenth of the population. There are beautiful beaches, rainforests, deserts, and cities...everything.

Sounds grrrrreat!But Savage Garden doesn't sound like a safe place to have a kennel?

Darren: Oh dear, how do you live with yourself with these questions? Have you seen the movie 'As Good As It Gets'? When Jack Nicholson puts the dog down the trash chute? Well, that's where I'll like to put you. HAhaha!
I can't answer that question-it's just stupid.

That's ruff! Surely you'd give a poor dog a home?

Darren: Of course, you're welcome to sleep at my house with my puppy any day Nels, but you can't share toys. And you'll have to fight it out with Obi about who comes into my bed in the morning.
