--- Quote from: Tova on 02 Nov 2018, 14:02 ---Not to put too fine a point on it, purebred-dog breeders can go [bleeep] themselves. The whole idea of inbreeding animals in order to perpetuate deformities and health problems for the purpose of the vanity of the owners is disgusting.
--- End quote ---
Not to mention perpetuating the notion that it's somehow better to spend thousands of dollars on an arbitrarily defined specialty animal rather than helping any of the endless numbers of abandoned animals in desperate need of a home.
(we took in our cat because she got sick and the neighbors didn't want to bother with her. She is best kitty)
DSL:
My last dog was chasing my cousin's car down the road, stopped, and came into our front yard as my cousin continued on to her job. The dog stayed with us for eight years, including one move, before THAT trip to the vet. Memory and dog books make me think she was part Manchester terrier, part beagle and, as I say fondly in reminiscence, "100 percent junkyard." A finer, fiercer, more loving dog you'll never see.
Our last cat was the last survivor of a litter of five dropped by a stray shortly before we moved. Mama Cat and two kittens disappeared while we were moving; of the three remaining, two did ... not adapt well to country life. No. 5, the runt, was with us for 18 years, promoted from barn cat to house cat (it was her house, though she was agreeable to us being there as long as we kept the Tender Vittles coming, permitted her to unravel Mom's crocheting as it happened, and left room for her on the bed) though she was not averse to grocery-shopping for mice in the hayfield. She was a ... well, there's such a label as American Domestic Shorthair, but she was your basic cat. One thing I like about cats is they manage to remain cats despite human efforts to breed them into different shapes.
Tova:
We rescued our two moggies from shelters. We had originally planned to adopt an inseparable, bonded pair of kitties. But, as we all know, you don't choose cats, cats choose you. It took a few days for them to get used to each other, but now they are like brothers, each with his own distinct personality. One is the food thief and fearless explorer of yards and high places, the other is the slayer of flies and demander of home comforts and pats.

--- End quote ---
Yup, basically every appearance I dislike her more and more.
I mean yes, Clinton’s comments weren’t exactly thoughtful, but they didn’t come from a place of malice. Claire’s response was just rude. In isolation this latest incident isn’t much but she just constantly behaves terribly. Not a fan.

Good to know you all are cuddly puppies under stress. Some of us aren't.

--- End quote ---
Yeah, if there's a pun in there, I'm not sure what it's supposed to be.
--- End quote ---
'Labradoodle' is the unofficial but commonly-used name for a Labrador/Standard Poodle cross. It's hardly a well-known name or breed, I'll grant you.
--- End quote ---
Oh, I see. Thanks!
...still think the pun is bit of a stretch.
--- End quote ---
No, that's more the dachshund.

You made me snort out loud. Damn near choked.
Thank you.
