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

tommy, that's really appealing to me, too!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Heh.

MM, I used to think debarking was a cruel procedure, until I met a rescue Papillon who'd had it done by her previous owners. She still barked (not as much because her new 'mom' was a better dog parent) but it was a much quieter 'wuff wuff' than it would have been, and best of all she was clearly not traumatized and as happy as she could be.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Something to think about.

Is it expensive? If it is expensive, can I just do it at home by crushing the dog's trachea?

I'm afraid the trachea-crushing should be left to professionals. IIRC, I think the vet knicks the vocal cords under light anaesthesia, meaning the dog gets to go home the same day.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I wonder if this technique would work on my roommate's girlfriend.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Helicopter hovering outside for the past ten minutes so close I can barely hear myself think: Dog does not even look up from the paw she's grooming.

Heh. The other night, The Boy's cat was napping sprawled out on the kitchen table, half on top of his cell phone.

(You MUST know what comes next....)

So we called his cell phone to see what the cat would do. We expected that she'd at least sit up, if not run away.

No, not this weird-ass cat. She did NOTHING except flick one ear, as if to say, "Doesn't sound like The Human is coming to answer this, so I'll just keep napping."

Even the dogs looked at each other like, "Does Cat #3 *know* that the small device is singing under its belly?" Weird freaking cat.

Is the cat deaf?
