Yeah, this is really familiar. Bingley actually came over to me this morning, meowing/crying, because his left ear was itching and he couldn't get it. I gave him a good hard ear scritching and he just started purring. Ah the pitfalls of missing a rear leg.....

Today I ended up taking a stray rottweiler (mix, I think) home because he was stumbling along the middle of the road, in traffic. He isn't too friendly, has no collar, has his tail docked, but isn't fixed. CRD is closed for Good Friday, so we have a very unhappy, old, skinny, kinda crippled rottie as an overnight guest. He's whining almost constantly, but at least he's not in the ditch.

We found a lost dog ad and called up the woman. Maybe she would have been happier not knowing.

Once when I was on a road trip I saw a dead dog in the middle of the road that looked EXACTLY like Pistol. I still had a moment of "aah that's Pistol!!  " even though I was an hour out of town and I had just dropped him off at daycare back home so it was physically impossible for him to have gotten all the way out there before I did.He still got the biggest hug of his life when I got home. He is very much alive and keeps pressing my caps lock key while I am typing this because he is a dick. I think if someone found one of my dogs dead I'd want to know so I wouldn't keep searching and hoping to find them alive and wondering what happened to them forever.

I'm sorry you witnessed that but you did do the best thing. One of my parents cats vanished years ago and it always bugged me the not knowing if she was dead or taken in by someone else. I have Artie back and he's learnt to bark bark bark and must have eaten sharp plastic as he's been crapping it out and has blood in his stools/fur agh. ...I'm loving being back in the madhouse though with them All

One of the neighborhood feral cats had recently moved in under my porch defying my dog in the process. I found it dead in the road last night.

When I was a teenager we had a cat wander into our garage while we were out. Found it when we pulled the car in when we got home on some folded towels we used for drying the cars after washing. She was the sweetest thing. She really wanted in the house and so we took her in and fed her, taking care of her while trying to decide what to do. She was a very sweet cat but was kind of strange and quirky. She loved getting into the bathtubs and would wait for you to turn the faucet on to drink water, and she had very short stubby legs. Well about a week later, we end up finding her passed away under my bed. We didn't know what had happened...but kind of assumed she was really old..We later found a missing cat ad that described her to a T, short stubby legs and all. My mom called the women and told her what happened, and that we had buried the cat on our property. Despite the description and even the cats behaviors of liking to drink water out of the tub, the woman REFUSED to believe it was her cat. Oh well, we at least tried to let them know.

My elderly childhood indoor-outdoor cat had been missing for several weeks, I put up signs at the end of our road and all. Almost a month passed and I was just about to start college and our neighbor called and told us they found him on their property and looked like he had been dead for a while. They had taken care of him for us so we wouldn't have to see. For some reason I kept forgetting that he was dead and I kept thinking I'd see him when I came home on breaks.

A little break from SadTalk: I am full of cold, so Barky got to play with the Electric Dog while I stood there trying not to die.   Wrong way, idiot

Barky is awesome. Got both of the doggies in here at the moment, both sleeping, snoring and twitching. I think they're chasing dream rabbits. Or animated biscuits, hard to tell with these two.

Today I let the dogs hang out outside on my patio while I washed my car. I didn't realize it would be so mentally taxing on Pistol, with me opening and shutting the car doors multiple times and not one single time did I come get him to put him in the car to go to the dog park. Not even once. There was much crying and the mental anguish was palpable. My friend took this picture of him at the park the other day:  When he wants to take a break from frisbee he puts his frisbee in that hole until he's ready to go again. And here's a stupid picture of Max for good measure:  Apparently that was comfortable. (his head was falling off the couch) Problem! fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Mar 31, 2013 |

Tycho insists on sleeping in his kennel like this: The kennel is long enough for him to lay down if he turned 90 degrees, but nope. Gotta pile my toys up and sleep like this.

The odiferous ghosts of the eggs will arise later, heralded by a mighty trumpet blast. Truly an Easter miracle.

It's officially 145 days since my girls were introduced to the rams so lambs should be here any time now. I ended up staying home for Easter instead of travelling to my parents' house and the storm the forecast was predicting is a light sprinkle so there's no way they're having them today. I need to take the dog to the vet tomorrow for some weird mouth problem he's having so I'll probably come home to 3 different ewes lambing. Just pop them out already ladies! That can't be comfortable and you're driving me nuts.

Lola's still not back to 100%. She was only retching (and, later, puking) for a single day, and then yesterday she devoured her meals, but today she has been very reluctant to eat (she's eaten about a quarter of what she'd usually have in a day), and still very quiet. I hope she is just recovering from whatever's wrong with her, but if she's still quiet and not really eating I'll have to get her to the vets on Tuesday.

Abby with her Moby Dick collar from 3pooches on Etsy. A woman I talked to online said she wasn't interested in seeing me since she had a cat (Abby isn't cat safe). I told her to teach the cat martial arts. I guess that's nicer than saying "let me know when your cat dies."

Just LOVING the experience of living next door to a pair of retarded new puppy owners. The puppy shrieks A LOT, their approach to training consists entirely of "SIT! NO! SIT! NO! NO! SIT! NO! SIT! NO! SIT! NO! AAAAAARRRRGH SIT! NO!" and they snatched Hugo off the fence and shoved him in the new puppy's face to, I assume, get him used to cats. I approve in principle with the idea of getting dogs used to cats but hey, way to ask me first before grabbing my cat to use in your loving retarded haphazard approach to dog ownership you cunts. E: \/\/\/ I wish that was my next door neighbours Honestly, I think dogs are rad and would not mind living next to one except that these guys are oblivious assholes and they are going to turn this pup into a neurotic, untrained mess.

My neighbors have a new-ish puppy, a Great Dane. He is in the awkward teenager stage where he is still figuring out how his limbs work. I have been very impressed with how they are training him. Our backyards are pretty big and they have been taking him around on a leash and teaching him commands. I never hear any yelling or any barking from him. Honestly, I have no idea how long they've had him because he is such a quiet dog and they don't just put him outside and let him bark at nothing. I was first made aware of his existence when I finished up a walk with my dogs and was in the driveway and they were taking him out. We let our dogs say hello and he was polite. Apple was a dick but only snapped once which is pretty good actually. Riley cried and wanted to play with him so yeah, very impressed. I would love to bring Riley over there by herself because it would be great for the dog to learn and be exposed to such a calm tiny dog. I also need to tell them they are awesome.

Today is Bailey's birthday (according to the shelter I got him from). He's 6 now, and if the cattledog part of him is any indication he'll hopefully be an annoying little poo poo for another 5 or so years. I'm planning on getting him a stupid birthday hat and some sort of dog cake or cookie this weekend and taking pictures of him. It'll also be "Happy Two Years Of Me Putting Up With Your Sorry rear end" day.

Zoso's 9th birthday is 12 days away. I'm trying to think of something nice to get for him or do but since he's on a restricted diet (no treats/snacks) and could care less about most toys... and has the fanciest dog bed I'm willing to pay for, I don't know what we can do. I can't believe he's going to be nine years old and Ed's going to be turning eight in June.
