I get my news from b.org and The Daily Show. Oh, and NPR. I forgot about NPR.
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
The woman then suggested perhaps I shouldn't take my cat to the vet if she doesn't like dogs, because dogs shouldn't be expected to be on a leash at the vet. What. Ever.
I'll see your "What. Ever." and raise you a Bull. Shit. Your cat has more right to a non-threatening visit to the vet than her dog has to lick other people's property.

Now tagless for your comfort.

WTF? Taking your dog to a place that is chock full of strange dogs (some of whom are sick and cranky) is a BAD place to have your dog leashed? Um, how does this woman control her dog? She deserves to be bitten. Hard.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

PETA should really join forces with San-X as they sell wacky adorable kittens in fish costumes and the like: [link] [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And of course the owner was completely appalled at my uncouth behavior and complained that her dog was very nice.
Nice or not, how does she know your cat isn't being brought in for something contagious? I mean, my toddler is very nice too - that doesn't mean he gets to chew on things we find at the doctor's office.

Well yeah Calli, but as soon as I heard her say that I realized there was nothing I could say that would ever convince her she was in the wrong, so I let it go.
Hmm, I meant to post about the dog in Bitches where everyone else was posting dog off-leash stories. But I goofed. oops.

Pfft. Not watching the news has made me a much happier human being.
Speaking of news, have you heard that Joe the Plumber is now Joe the War Correspondent. He's in Israel covering the conflict.

Oh dear Jessica. Kids can and do get their mouths on just about anything, but a pet carrier is all kinds of wrong. I know what my cat tends to do in her carrier (hint: that's why we put a towel in there with her.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
The woman then suggested perhaps I shouldn't take my cat to the vet if she doesn't like dogs
Egad. So cats that don't like dogs shouldn't get health care?
And we won't even get into the many ways dogs have interacted with each other at our vet.

'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"
You should have told her that your cat was being treated for RABIES, and look very concerned.
