Wanted: Dog to be a family pet

Medium size dog wanted.

Must be medium.

No exceptions.

Send picture of dog first.

Picture must show dog on scale so I can see if medium size. I must be able to read numbers on scale.

Scale must show that dog is between small and large.

In other words, medium size.

Trivia questions:
1) What was the original name of Gilmour's composition before being renamed to Dogs for the Animals album?
2) Without listening or looking up the lyrics, what's Roger's first-sung line in the song?

Waters actually starts singing lead right after the long instrumental ... so it's 'I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused'

I was into Floyd pretty heavily for awhile as a young teen without even realizing there were 2 singers, I just thought it was all Waters cause every album said 'Lyrics by Roger Waters'. Then when I was like 17, a co-worker who knew more about Floyd informed me that about 1/2 their stuff is sung by Gilmour ... once I knew this and he told me a couple of examples of which was which I was like ... Jeez DUH ... it's obviously 2 different voices lol!

Now I could tell you off the top of my head who sings pretty much every line, at least from Meddle onwards ...

I did not know that about the end of the penultimate verse and the final one ... makes some sense though ...

That way you can see in person what dogs are actually medium sized. Plus, you can see which ones greet you with enthusiasm.
