Marv, I have seen some depraved shit on this site, but that post asks for Amnesty Imternational to intervene.

I'm quite sure there's some other deck on the Ship that's been set up for fun and games...
Honestly, you have an H&A Day, and the next thing you know you've got senior Shipmates making an annoyance of themselves all over the place for weeks.

I've no idea what that means. I was talking about the parade of Admins and Hosts of other boards that are waltzing through leaving image links - the online equivalent of their droppings.

Dog took my favourite toque off the balastrade and tore into it. The bitch went off her food and then had diarrhea after I lectured and ignored her. Guilt inducing little dinkus. She's now had bacon and peanut butter, and chased a bunny. All is right in her world, and the toque repair makes me look like I've been shot in the head.

With practise, although I think genetics also play a part.
My cockatoo was all snugly and affectionate tonight. He wanted my attention, asked to hop on my arm, sat on my shoulder, gazed lovingly into my eyes, then bit me on the ear. It really hurt! At least he didn't laugh madly afterwards.

Mr Lamb is just begging for you to tell long, aggrieved, detailed stories about him and his bird obsession on the internet.
We are here for you, darling.

Bloody dog ate the cherrios. And covered me in really little white hairs. And has been known to drag me on the end of a lead through mud.
For some reason I really love dog and continue to let him turn his mournful little eyes upon us, while his muddy little paws get everywhere. During that run of thunderstorms last week he ended up actually in our bed, and he is not a small dog. But he wuvs us....

My daughter was deployed in Afghanistan. She returned on a Monday. On the Wednesday she acquired a Great Dane puppy. I learn that its sire weighs 180 lbs. I am comforting myself by telling myself that this is a pre-child. In the meantime, I have a grand-dog that will grow to the size of a pony.

And tonight's delight - cat wolfs her food down and ten minutes later makes odd yowling noises and then throws up on the floor. Lovely.

Blue feathered fiend just escaped its cage, flew madly into three windows, panicking, and probably shitting all the while. Me, armed with somebody's old underwear (don't ask), scoop up the wee idiot and get my finger bitten all to hell as I toss it back in the cage.
Remind me why we did this again?

And in breaking news, it seems my younger cocky is an escape artist. I came home from school to find his cage empty and him sitting on the neighbour's fence, admiring the view. I put him back, secured the cage and went out. When I came home again, he was chasing a dog around the yard with every appearance of delight. At this rate, if a dog doesn't get him, a snake will.
Oh, and my silky terrier is afraid of frogs. I had to rescue him from a particularly fine green tree frog this evening...

All the little ones in our neighborhood loved my Irish Setter, Pat. One little toddler offered him a lick of her lollipop and was shocked when he took the whole thing. We rolled on the grass laughing as she scolded, "Pit it out, Pat! Pit it out!"

Gosh. I once walked in on a toddler with a lollipop sharing it with a dog. "First I get a lick... now you ... now me..." and so on. I debated telling the parents, but figured they'd only flip out about what was past mending by then.

In-laws visit with their dog. I feed it breath mints. Please, somebody tell me that mints are poisonous to dogs? Or at least make them utterly constipated for, oh, about four days?

With your luck, they will be sugar-free mints and the dog, like humans, gets the very opposite of constipation from sugar substitutes.

Once I discovered my cat sitting on the bathroom counter doing oral hygiene. She was chewing my husband's toothbrush, which stands up in its holder. I scolded the cat, and she gave me a look: Excuse me, Mom -- I'm brushing my teeth! I decided not to tell him about it.

It is really hot here, which means snake breeding season. Yesterday my rather pathetic fox terrier decided to try and catch a brown snake... It went past me about 2 metres away. I now can't find the blasted thing. I have to go to school tomorrow, I can't leave the dogs outside, as she will harass the snake if it's still around, and get bitten, and it's too hot to leave them inside.
