Gratuitous puppy blogging, part 2

• The pooch is even less of a morning person creature than I am. Usually I’m the one dragging her ass out of bed for the morning constitutional, instead of the other way around.
• Jerry’s of Westport is a great pet store, even if the resident parakeet freaks out Ginger. It’s locally, independently owned and the prices are competitive with the chain stores.
• Penn Valley dog park is doubleplus groovy. The city needs to build a couple more off-leash dog parks.
• Metrodog is a great resource for training and living with a dog in the city and/or apartment.
• Dogster, Friendster for pooches
• Trips to Home Depot have been replaced by trips to Jerry’s and Petco, which doubles as the DMV.
• Just when I think she’s making progress, she eats my library book Dog Training for Dummies.

Take the blue pill, please

So last night I am minding own business, driving down Burlington on my way home from the Petco-slash-DMV, when a car passes me blasting the Matrix soundtrack. Unfortunately that caused a flashback to a previous upstairs neighbor blasted that same soundtrack everytime she was doing the nasty with whoever she brought home from the bar. That old apartment had many opportunities for voyeurism, but the quality was always lacking.

Mutant bug?

I’ve been trying to identify this bug in my basement for several months now. It looks like some kind of mutant grasshopper and jumps around like an ADD kid on meth. But thanks to Hive Logic, I now know it’s probably a camel cricket.

Republicans already dicking the red states

Republicans aren’t wasting any time bending over the rural voters who delivered them to victory two weeks ago. First, they want to repeal the law requiring food to be labeled with it’s country of origin – a law supported by farmers and ranchers but opposed by the large corporations doing the meatpacking and food processing.

Second, a new case of mad cow disease is likely to further hurt ranchers and cattlemen. Thanks again to the meatpacking industry for opposing a system to track livestock and poultry from birth to grocery store, and to the Republicans for being a part of the dirty plant to sell us diseased food.

But based on the results of the election, appareantly farmers don’t seem to care if they go out of business – as long as they can pack heat under their Carharts and the queers in San Francisco aren’t getting married.
