I just read a long article about designer dogs and puppy mills and how purebreds are like ticking genetic timebombs, too, so I am sort of concerned about the fate of doggykind right now.
Natter Five-O: Book 'Em, Danno.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh Nora, I am sorry about their dog.
My parent's have had two of their Goldens that have ended up with really aggressive tumors. And Max was fairly young. I wonder if it is something the breed is prone to or just coincidence.
Aw, that's so sad. Goldens are such sweet dogs.
Oh, wasn't that awful, Hil?
Except for that one line from that breeder woman who was concerned that if something wasn't done "anyone could breed any two kinds together and call it a dog."
"and call it a dog"?? As opposed to what? Suddenly it's a lemur?
Here's the actual quote, from an AKC spokeswoman:
It will not be registering Poovanese or Cavoodles any time soon. “What would our registration stand for then?” a spokeswoman told me. “Anyone could make up a dog and say, ‘This is a dog!’ ”
Also, since I suck and forgot too say, poor baby, and poor friend-of-Nora.
I wanna make up a dog! I want a Pit-Pei.
“Anyone could make up a dog and say, ‘This is a dog!’ ”
Soon everyone would be making up dogs! It'd be anarchy!
I'm glad the poor puppy had a good home while he was alive.
Just got off the phone with my brother. I'm sure y'all have heard this before, but I love the conversations we have. Defining hope, nihilism, biological imperitives, logic. Adding 70 horsepower to his car, racing at 170 mph, Talledega races next weekend. He's SO interesting. And when I'm down on myself, he champions me, which makes no sense, but he loves me. I'm so lucky.
Nails done.
Sad news from a friend, but she's doing ok (early miscarrige.) She's already looking to the future in the positive. She laughed at my oh fuck response, so I guess that's good.
Dogs and dogs living together!
