How can ravens be hilarious?
I assume you are buying a Rottweiler and training it to rip the throats out of downloaders?
Sorry, Cori, just too busy to go in the middle of the week. ld:
I just paid $75 to register for the Leavenworth Octoberfest half marathon. I guess I'm committed to train for it now.
Anyone who lives alone and has (or has had) a dog, please tell me of issues and responsibilities I may not be considering. I'm about 70% decided on getting one in the very near future. I think I've thought through most things, but I'm sure there's stuff I haven't considered.
I went there for Oktoberfest once. It was a madhouse.
I would say the primary factor is the energy level of the dog. If you are going to be at work most of the day, a high-energy dog might have a lot of difficulty adjusting to those circumstances and might also become destructive.

I found a rabbit's hind leg in my backyard yesterday. I'm assuming that a bird of prey dropped a piece of his breakfast, because all of the other scenarios I can come up with to explain how a rabbit's leg would end up in a fenced yard make me uncomfortable.

I ALREADY POSTED THIS
I adopted my Chihuahua when the office policy was that we could bring dogs to work. So for several years he went to work with me and sat in his bed by my desk and enjoyed the company of other dogs. But when the big dogs started doing things like peeing in the boss's office and then on a very expensive sculpture, the no-dog policy came down (as it should have). It was incredibly traumatic for all of us. I don't think my dog ever got over suddenly having to stay home alone all day. As an older small dog, he didn't do well in doggie daycare either, so he got very depressed. I'm sure you've thought about this. Some dogs just don't do that well alone and you just won't know until you get one.
Also, dogs do extremely well on a raw food, grain-free diet.
Other than that, yay for adopting a dog.
We cut the head off a brown snake when we were camping once. Tied its body to a piece of string. For the next hour it kept contracting into an S shape and then straightening out and the head was hissing for about half an hour. Creepy.
Apparently I am the only person so far in a city of 75,000+ people (not counting a shitload of tourists) who has purchased an advanced ticket to Shut Up & Play the Hits.
