We have a new puppy! Already I love him to bursting and can’t imagine my life without him. Meet Rooster: We got him from a rescue shelter a week ago Saturday. The people who had him before were bad, bad people who should have sharpened toothpicks inserted under their fingernails and then lit on fire. [...]
My heart is breaking. It’s shattering into a million little pieces and I can’t, for the life of me, stop it. My Roofie Doof has died. We didn’t even know he was sick. One day he was fine. Just his normal, fluffy self. The next he was hanging on for dear life, ill, with a [...]
Kaileb told me the other day that whenever he thinks of our president, he thinks of Poe. Like Poe is a dog version of President Bush and vice versa. This is President Bush: This is Poe: President Bush: Poe: Maybe the kid is on to something?
we do have another dog in the house, though i don’t speak of him often. it’s not because he’s not important or that we don’t love him. it’s just because he’s new to the household. or fairly new as the case may be. so we don’t have as many stories built up in the old [...]
i found the haiku below on this page: Chris Brady.net just love it. Dog Haiku I love my master; Thus I perfume myself with This long-rotten squirrel. I lie belly-up In the sunshine, happier than You ever will be Today I sniffed Many dog butts-I celebrate By kissing your face. I sound the alarm! Paperboy-come [...]
my dog bled from his eyes the night he was hit by a truck. a tooth was knocked out and a leg broken. the truck, speeding down the hill like an escaped lunatic, fractured his skull and broke his nose. i thought he was dead. he didn’t come when i called and no one could [...]
i love my dog. despite my best intentions. despite the fact that i had a million and three dogs and every one ended in heartbreak, every one ended in a vow renewed to never put myself in that position ever again. never again. i have a hard head. lessons don’t sink in easily. i relish [...]
A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.
Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
