More Letters to the Reader (Parker)

Why hello Parker!
Welcome. It’s good to have you! I’m sorry we haven’t been seeing enough of each other lately. I talk about it all the time – the places we could go, the adventures we could have. Yeah, we’re talking the talk, but not walking the walk. Ugh, you know how it is… working all day can just make me so tired at night. I come home, eat some food, watch some olympics, and then go to bed. My life in a nutshell!
Anyhow, I should probably save my breath. I know the only thing you’re hearing is PARKER GOOD GO WALK FOOD GO BED, but, thanks for listening.
Love,
Mom

Rescue Ink on Nat Geo
Posted by hutko under All the List That's Fit to Print, Fluffly AnimalsLeave a Comment
I really appreciate the effort National Geographic has spent in recent years making their programming absolutely crazy. The current line up includes:
- Sizing Up Sperm – which makes a bunch of real people do an obstacle-course like triathalon to represent the journey of a sperm
- Fight Science – meant to bring together nerds and the bullys that trounce them
- Rescue Ink Unleashed – where a cru of tatooed, biker guys rescue abused animals
The last one really caught my attention. Animal abusers should watch out. Because it might not be some sissy animal-control officer knocking at your door – it might be these guys:
Then, after a tough days ass-kicking, cuddling ensues:
What two opposite things will the network juxtapose next? Metrosexual firefighters? Stocktrading farmers? Beautiful women who work in waste removal by day and date ugly guys at night? Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be magic.
Oh, and hilarious.

Cat Weightlifting Competition

I had a post all written and ready-to-go this morning, but then I watched this. Enjoy:
Like me you might be asking yourself – what are all these cats doing there? But then I realized that if I was a stray cat I too would frequent the field with the free, fresh, HUMONGOUS fish in it. I think they could make this show with people and donuts and it would work too.
Speaking of which, I’m off to get some donuts…

1 – Never let your dog roll around in a leaf pile. Even if it’s really really cute.
Why? Because it turns out there’s poop in that leaf pile. That’s why your dog wants to roll in it.
2 – Dogs hate baths. Even when they’re covered in poop.
Especially when they’re covered in poop.

Just in case you don’t spend your time watching dogs chase laser pointers:

Last week we had a dog trainer come over to work with the dog. Contrary to my preconceptions there was no whispering involved, and the trainer wasn’t even an illegal alien (how bogus). We had called her up after Parker unsuccessfully tried to bite some strangers (but who cares about strangers?) and then finally successfully bit a friend.
It turns out what we needed to do to get the dog to stop biting people was tie her to the couch. Now whenever people are over we tie Parker to the couch leg and guests are supposed to intermittently throw treats at her. Now, I’m no puppy, but this sounds like a pretty sweet gig even to me. In the end it’s supposed to make her happy about people being over instead of fearful. Or maybe it’s just supposed to fatten her up to the point where she’s no longer a real threat to anyone.

Yesterday I complained about parents who dress their twins the same. Today I discovered something worse: parents who dress their kids like their dogs.
Did they punch that boy in the face?
