"Are your parents siblings?"

Check out this link.  It's partly funny, or would be if it wasn't so sad but true. 

My favorite lines:  "Are your parents siblings?" and "People like you are the reason I'm on medication." 

I've had most of this conversation with people at one time or another.  I swear, I'm going to use "Are your parents siblings?" in my next conversation with a stupid person, which is likely to be tomorrow. 

I went to a VGSR adoption event in Richmond today and met a nice young woman I had been emailing with.  She is very interested in Biscuit and after the event we stopped by her place on our way home.  He seemed to approve.  I'm planning to take him to her place on Monday.  He will be very glad.

This is another sad but funny one that was sent to me a while back, from a "Best of Craigslist" posting:

You aren't looking for them, but I found your two dogs.

Sigh. No one is looking for these guys. And I see why. They hump everything in sight, try to dominate our old doggies, try to eat our cats and pee on everything and bark at everything. Neurotic, lick constantly. They know no commands, either in English or Spanish. They are aggressive and probably lived in a puppy mill. You dumped them, probably, and we picked them up before they were killed by traffic. Unneutered, no tags, under 1 year old small males. I hate you, person who dumped these dogs. There are no lost ads on phone poles, no lost ad on Craig's list, no lost ad in the paper. We put signs up all over, put a found notice in at the local pounds and if you were looking for these filthy little ragamuffins, you would have found them. We are afraid to take them to the pound because under stress, your dogs were snappy and horribly afraid and dogs are judged by temperament for adoption placement. They would not have passed that test. However.....

They are, under their filth, mats and horrible habits, adorable. They have learned "Quiet," "Come," "Sit." They have stopped being so neurotic and we have broken most of their bad habits in just a few days. They are smart and sweet and are looking for guidance and WANT to be good little dogs. One is a purebred little white and buff guy with an under bite, the other is a brown little dog that looks almost exactly like a miniature version of a larger breed dog. They know each other and were obviously (by the same bad habits) raised (poorly) together. We will get them neutered, train them and get them into a good, loving home with people who use the brains God gave them.

If these are your dogs, come on by, I'd like to kick your ass.

Tomorrow, TJ, Sunny, Buddy, and Belle go to another adoption event in Front Royal.  Last chance for a home for the holidays.
