Hello, Natterers! I'm back in the civilized world with the internet at my fingertips.
My pets have no tattoos and no clothes. I am about halfway done with cutting the annual summer tangles off of Gilda's back legs though.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
coming from ita?!?!?!?
Hey now. Imposing that crap on any living creature is way outside and beyond my comfort level.
Steph, I was all "STAPLING??? CRAZYCAKES!!" and then I remembered the whole Shocknife thing at krav where I'd lure the unsuspecting into getting electric shocks by demonstrating on my own inner thigh while maintaining eye contact and smiling. I don't think any women ever fell for it, but just about every guy would. And then they'd look at me with such anger and betrayal, because, honestly, that shit hurt like a BITCH.
Yet? It never got old. I kept shocking myself over and over because it was so rewarding to see other people get shocked.

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

Hey Aurelia! How were the teenagers this summer?

"And ita ups the ante in the 2011 Own Your Crazy contest with Tep. Who will flinch? Or rather who won't flinch?"

Oh, yeah! I meant to cite your Shocknife thing back at you when you said the stapling was crazy (you've mentioned the Shocknife before, because I went home and googled it, and concluded that the fucker who invented it MUST be kinky).
And the thing is? I only did the stapling once; you did the Shocknife over and over. CRAZYCAKES.

I might have breadth of experience, but ita ! definitely has the advantage in repeat experience. (Granted, there are plenty of things I repeat, but not the damn stapler.)

I'd never get stapled because it breaks the skin and I scar like the fragile little flower I am. Nothing bigger than an IV needle will I voluntarily let pierce my flesh temporarily.
Apparently, however, if it won't mark I don't have so much of a problem. Or I'm just so sadistic that my masochism can't compare.
The shocknife rules, though! I was totally the one that got them to get one at krav, and it was like my little pet project from there on in.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I can see a dog being OK with the whole dress-up thing, because they often like attention and pleasing their human. I'm not saying they'd be sitting there debating the merits of a Little Bo Peep costume vs a frog costume. But a number of them would probably be, "Huh. Attention and pettings. OK, whatever."
Cats, on the other hand, would be plotting their vengence, one and all.
