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

But he's house-trained, affectionate, and we're hoping he wouldn't eat the sofa.
Awww, cutie! That sounds nice. How big is he?
And given that you have not had a dog before, may I offer unsolicited advice? Crate-training is your friend. The crate isn't a prison, it's his own private little den where he can be safe, and peacefully confined when you are not home to supervise him. Also good for days when the cable guy or the housecleaner is coming.
I also highly recommend all family members attend basic dog-training, and even advanced basic dog-training, so everyone knows what the dog and the people are supposed to do. Dog-training is good socialization for the dog, and can be a lot of fun.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The dog is not big. He's a chihuahua/Jack Russell mix, but more Jack Russell-sized. Maybe twenty pounds or less?

Yeah, that's definitely the plan. Right now, I'm home all day, but if we get to a point where I have a job out of the house, I want to feel comfortable leaving him.

He loves other dogs, so we're looking forward to dog-parking with him. We just have to get him to the point where he's not scared of people. He's much more fearful than aggressive, but he will growl. So yeah, there are going to be walks and convincing him that people are good things who give you treats and play with you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I just realized that the bizarrely hot weather means I know that to wear tomorrow, for a meeting that I have to dress up some, but not suit up for. Phew!

I saw a blog post about the "Look at this lovely hamster" - the post was a reaction to the "look at this fucking hipster" blog.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did everyon go out or something?
2 Questions occured to me:
- What's the song most likely to make you burst in tears.
- Is it more correct a by saying "It's I," or should it be "Me."?
I think Redemption Song is up there, as is "I's so hard to say goodybye."
Okay, I looked up the answer to #2 and it correct, just as "This is she." would have been

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm here. Watching TMz, just one of my terrible tv habits I've picked up during unemployment.
