A couple of years ago, my friend and i went on a little hike at a marsh/bird sanctuary. Afterwards we came back to my house (I live with my parents). My mother of course wants to see all of the pictures we took. After getting through photos of various plant and animal life, we land upon a picture of a cute little…

Sigh. Somehow it's always the dog posts that get me to delurk... I worked as a dog handler for more than two years, and I plan on going into the field of animal behavior.

Another Catahoula owner here. He is the absolute best dog I have ever had. Nothing else to add, :/

I'm a nanny for two young boys, and the other moms freak me out when I go to the park. They're so homogenous! They all dress the same, and they look at me funny when I take off my shoes and go in the sandbox. They seem to have no imagination whatsoever.

Thanks for the concern and internet hugs! Yeah, he's totally going to get away with it. I didn't get a license plate number, and there were so many accidents happening at the time that the police and sheriff had their hands full. Luckily nobody was hurt.

The Tribe is crazy!! I was so obsessed with that show in middle school. Honestly, I think it was my first introduction the the post-apocolyptic genre, and got me turned on to sci-fi in general.

So right before Christmas I moved. Stressful, but a good thing. Then I broke up with my boyfriend of 20 months. Stressful and really sad, but ultimately the right thing. Then I had to put my dog to sleep. She was almost 16 and quite ill - but seriously life? You're gonna be this way?

The songs from the music contest episode still get stuck in my head regularly. Along with the image of Craig's face melting.

Could that woman be Ashley, perchance? We all know she was the real musical genius at Degrassi, and Jimmy and Craig just took all the credit.

That's what I'm telling myself. Barring natural disaster or more death, things can't get a whole lot worse. (knock on wood)

I'm on a new medication that means I can't drink. At all. Cookies are my only vice left.

So in the last month I've moved, broken up with my first real boyfriend (of almost two years), and put my dog to sleep. Historically speaking, February is not my best month. I would like some happiness now please. And some hot sex would be nice too.

Weird. I was just talking about this subject with my boss today. A few years ago I went to the zoo, and was somewhat infatuated with an adorable baby monkey. The zookeeper told me that they implanted birth control rods in the female monkeys (between the shoulder blades, so they don't pick them out), but in this…

Reasons I heart people: They said something funny. They're one of the cool kids. They are from Wisconsin. They love dogs. They love Doctor Who, BSG, or Farscape. The end.

Oh boxers. Gotta love them, even though they're probably the one who took you down in the first place...

My boyfriend bought me the Troy and Abed in the Morning mug. Just because. Although he hasn't let me remove it from his apartment yet... I just bought him the Ron Swanson tee and Snakehole lounge pint glass. Then I shall have the upper hand, MWA HA HA!

Oh man, I'm in the same boat, and it's awful. He wants to be with me forever, but I can't imagine marrying or having kids with him, for a multitude of small and not so small reasons. Our chemistry is totally lukewarm. Mostly it just feels like something major is missing, even though he's such a good guy.

Has she had a skin scraping done for mange? I've known dogs that have had only mildly icky skin, but a major funk that were later diagnosed with mange. Considering her history I'd have it checked, especially if she has any rough, sticky, or greasy patches or skin or fur.

Oh Jimmy. Every time I see his Sprite commercial at the movie theater I have to suppress the urge to yell, "You're Canadian! You should be in your wheelchair!"

Dammit! I've been trying to avoid his face since it permeates far too many of my waking thoughts...
