I have a neighbor who is exceptionally annoying. She and he girlfriend have a cloud of smoke all over the neighborhood, they toss garbage around and argue so loud and often, they can be heard through their walls, across the sidewalk and through our walls.

Why? Because when people need help, I help. That's just who I am.

First off, all of you breeders/sellers should be made to work in the "back" of an animal shelter for just one day. Maybe if you saw the life drain from a few sad, lost, confused eyes, you would change your mind about breeding and selling to people you don't even know. That puppy you just sold will most likely end up in my shelter when it's not a cute little puppy anymore. So how would you feel if you knew that there's about a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it is going to be dumped at? Purebred or not!

A man walks into a Costco. While sampling foodstuffs he comes upon a vendor sampling "Malibu Burgers" and he decides to take a bite, having seen them in the coolers for a while but not quite knowing what they were. It's tasteless and nothing special. For some reason he was under the assumption the Malibu Burger would have fruit, perhaps pineapple, in the patty. Instead, it was bland. He says to the woman behind the booth, "Oh, I've been wanting to try these. I didn't know it was a veggie patty. I thought it would have fruit or something in it."  The lady responds, "Well, I think it's supposed to be from Hawai'i. All those people are vegetarians." The man couldn't believe she said that. Not only is it extremely generic of her to claim everyone in Hawai'i is a vegetarian, but she also failed to understand where Malibu was located. So the man pointed it out, "Actually, Malibu is in California." The woman look...

Took Rufus and Charlie to the dog park yesterday. It was a barren wasteland of cold, cold and more cold. With temperatures ranging from 0°-1° Fahrenheit in the middle of the day, not many people took their canine companions out for a romp at the park. In the (somewhere near) 200 acres at this dog park we passed only three other people, with four cars in the parking lot. It's not always a bad thing being alone at the dog park. It can sometimes be cathartic to stuff my phone in my pocket and just be  without having to answer to someone, entertain another or be at the beck and call of metal wrapped in plastic. So there we were, walking along minding our own business; me with my hands in gloves stuffed in my pockets, beanie cap constantly trying to free itself from my head, heavy coat buttoned up over a turtleneck sweater and heavy boots (rated to -40°) to trundle through the snow and polarized sunglasses to protect me from the blinding glare.
