I had to pull a tick out of my daughter's head the other night (we were in northern Minnesota). I tortured the fucker afterward (the tick, not my daughter). Dog fights are the worst.

Seems there are mini bars all over the place. Like bars that are miniature, not minibars, although THAT would work, too...<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about your pup's leg! The fact that I'm on the verge of tears even thinking about my dog being attacked reminds me why I don't have kids either... <br /><br />This is the first I've heard of any dog attack phenomenon. Hard out there in the SFC. When I first brought my dog to America, I thought he was getting humped like crazy (he would get scratched up pretty bad) because he was French and the SF dogs were all "our owners are progressive but we can be conservative freedom dogs" but it was actually because he still had his balls. The lovely vets at the SPCA took care of that, stat. (In the French countryside, they don't neuter male dogs because they're chauvinistic, but they don't spay females because it's a pain in the ass. So you have lots of cute accidents like mine! I once asked the vet there if he could neuter mine and he said something like "I think I remember that from vet school... I could try...")Tamagosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583066213197379712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-83138740398867259642011-06-23T17:31:44.791-07:002011-06-23T17:31:44.791-07:00GG -

I cringe every time I see some five-foot little skinny bitch walking a GIANT muscley pit bull that she could not possibly control if she needed to -- especially since my dogs are mostly defenseless, being as thin-skinned and submissive as they are. As to being a parent, at least kids don't usually bite each other sufficiently to draw blood, so you're probably OK. I've had my dogs attacked by coyotes right in front of me TWICE (requiring 80+ stitches each time) so I know how terrifying it is. So glad your dog is OK!<br /><br />#3: I was also disappointed by OR's Treasure Island set and agree that that Independent show a couple years ago was one of the best live performances I've ever been to... but I have to think that maybe the Fox can take some of the blame here. I hate huge venues anyway, but I think as a performer it's got to be really hard to connect with your audience when there's just a GIANT faceless mass of them out there. This could also have been the problem with the large stage/crowd at the TI Festival. I think OR's music and Will Sheff's personality just lends itself to a more intimate setting. Also, I imagine they were playing a lot of material off the new record this time, and IMHO it's not one of their best in recent years. So I guess my point is, maybe you should give them a pass and see if next time they come back and play a better venue after they've made a better record?GGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261527701229835583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-84033473134051107392011-06-23T11:00:15.165-07:002011-06-23T11:00:15.165-07:00Amy, I'm very sorry about your cat.

"Sheesh, being a parent must be fucking IMPOSSIBLE if I get this freaked out about my dog getting hurt. I don't know how you guys do it." From my experience being a pet owner, i am A. sure i am a terrible parent and my kids would end up lost (see: time my hamster ran away in the plastic ball and i never found it because maybe i was inebriated) B. if one of them got hurt i would be totally unable to cope. it took me 2 weeks to stop crying about my cat earlier this year.amy.leblanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188640783609376603noreply@blogger.com
