Tim Cox - Buffy: Anya, that thing you created burst through solid pavement and ate her dog. Anya (anguished): Oooh, puppy!

Thanks

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just don't get people who don't feel that dogs, cats, and other companion animals are part of the family.

It's a culture thing. I like dogs. I might even love them. I can't imagine keeping one inside a house. It's not how I was raised, and if we're making a list of issues I've had since childhood that need fixing, it's pretty low on the list.

Our dogs were guard dogs primarily, but fun to play with. That whole cuddling thing still is beyond me, much less having them in my bed. I was just listening to a friend today talk about showering with his dog, and I just am not going to get it.

Which is okay.

The status is NOT quo.

Things not to do when you're already feeling blue: a budget.

Feh. What was I thinking? Why did proving that I can't afford my own damn bills seem like a good idea on a Saturday night?

I is stoopid sometimes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm not sure this part is a culture thing.

I have to agree with Lee.

Y'all let animals in your bed. From where I'm standing the quantum leap is between me and y'all, not y'all and him.

On, not in.

eta: Boy, that just can't not sound bad. I do think there's a difference though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have trouble with dogs in the house. Probably because I grew up on a farm with working dogs and hunting dogs, and I had pet dogs that I loved and hugged, but we never treated dogs like kids, and we never let them in the house. My grandparents wouldn't even let cats in the house. I did have a big dog in the house when I lived with DX, and that was okay, though. I love having cats around, but the longer I live without them, the more I think about cat hair and tracked kitty litter and yakked-up hairballs, and I think, clean is nice. Despite this, as soon as I move into a place where I can have pets, I know I'll be at the shelter getting a couple cats. Clean is nice, but companionship and creatures who can warn of supernatural invasions is good too.

It's 4am. Why have I not slept tonight at all?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There's a storm moving through the area. A gust of wind caused my fan to fall off the windowsill and crash to the floor, waking me up.

On the plus side, my in'ernet is working again.

On the minus side - don't know if I'll be able to get back to sleep.

On the plus side - my fave breakfast place opens in two hours. Steak and eggs babee!
