While I know that we can't even think about the possibility of getting another dog until November, I keep sneaking peeks at various adoption places anyway. I cannot help but notice that there are significant differences between the ways the various types of shelters and rescues advertise their dogs.
1. County Animal Control, i.e. The Pound:

He was the best of dogs, he was the... no, he was just the best.
So what happened with Bo was, about two months ago we noticed that he was less enthusiastic about his dog food than usual, and there were intermittent traces of blood in his saliva when he licked his paws. We couldn't see any obvious bleeding -- it was just a pink tinge in his spit. We thought maybe that he'd cut his tongue on a cat food can, ( Read more... ) -

Cats and other things
Cashmere has turned out to be very, very sweet, loving, and friendly -- she was a little antsy in the house for the first week or so, but she's completely acclimated now.

Might have beens
The mildly annoying thing about going through all that old Elfquest stuff was, I got an idea for a story, which would be absolutely impossible to write due to the impossibility of getting character permissions at this late date.

The only reason it's not even hotter is that the aforementioned smoke is thick enough that it's reflecting some of the heat. I would like very much to take ( Read more... ) -

Since it seems I have some readers who may be unaware of this:
I am a pro-choice liberal atheist lesbian feminist Democrat. The main reason I'm not a socialist is that I don't think that they have any realistic chance of winning elections in my state; I support many of their policy positions.

Musings on Talking Rabbits
There's a web cartoonist whose work I follow - she's written/illustrated two long series based on Scandinavian mythology. They're well-written and beautifully illustrated, and so when I checked in to her website recently and saw she'd done another stand-along short comic, I was very pleased. Unfortunately it is... not great. The art is ( Read more... )
