Wow! Darcy doesn't seem so cuddly looking at those pics :D I've had dogs all my life (on my 19th now), but my heaviest was a 65lb husky -- that guy could eat him for lunch! :D

Egads, that sounds horrible! On a pirate/laundry related note, the reason pirate pants are generally ragged at the bottom is because they used lye soap to wash the ship decks, and lye dissolves...

While I agree that there are some fanfiction Darcys that are pictures of perfection, I don't think it's as usual as a perfect Elizabeth. Mainly, I think, because an unrealistically-perfect-Elizabeth...
