Thank you :) He's my very first splurge animal, all my dogs have been rescues. I've had him since he was 8 weeks old; he's almost 6 now and seeing him get old breaks my heart. I've already requested a padded room and lots of drugs for when he goes to the big dog bone in the sky :(

My Great Dane Phantom scoffs at your silly puppy laser moves. And then returns to his nap.

Grrr, edited because I can't upload picture.

I worked in an all female office and there were only two stalls in our bathroom. Our bookkeeper must have had the worst diet ever because her shits were enough to drive you to another floor. One time I walked in and was just about to lock the stall door when I heard SNORING. Yes, she had fallen asleep on the toilet!…

Ugh, this happens in my house!!! Under any toilet seat there will be a wispy coating of ball hair. I refuse to clean it because I'm pretty sure it's physically impossible for my pubes to get under the toilet seat while I'm sitting, AND my 9 year old doesn't have hairy nuts yet. I'm guessing it's just natural shedding…

I was raised by my maternal grandfather, and I told him to come up with something my infant son would be able to mutter as Great Grandpa is a mouthful. He came up with "GPa". Sometimes I think Grade Point Average, which is apt as he was a chemical engineer. Somehow it became Jihad after the Osama hunt was all over the…

I'm currently fundraising to build our city's *first* dog park, and wow our budget is way below $500k. We are the largest Texas city without a dog park and it's been slow going.

We took our 5 year old on a Caribbean cruise, and one of the few excursions he was old enough (and interested in doing) was swimming with the stingrays off Grand Cayman Island on a sandbar. This was immediately after Steve Irwin died from the freak sting ray accident. So many people told us we were crazy, how could we…

Pfft, if you'd left them in the car with the windows rolled up and no a/c, they'd be dead in 15 minutes. And then you'd be the dog killer. I'd rather burn a few ozones than murder my dogs. Good choice.

Physically impossible to live in South Texas without a vehicle. Riding a bicycle or being a pedestrian will get you killed, as car drivers have no respect for others, even those in other cars.

I've been told the same thing as well and mostly to avoid cold water. My personal reasoning is that the cold water "shrinks" the skin and speeds up the peeling? Can't say how hot water affects the science of it, but a nice warm shower after a burn feels so much better than a cold one.

I stopped thinking of people as "normal" a long time ago. But the last time our city made headlines for anything involving the gay community was when a high school senior tried to start a LGBT club and people got up in arms about it. I think it was more along the lines of being angry the school had refused to host the…

I don't know much about Portland either but I've never heard of any kind of anti-gay activity either there or in Corpus. There is a large gay community in CC, and I've never been told of them experiencing direct confrontation for their sexuality.

I think the mentality is pretty small minded personally. Anything new or different is immediately shot down by the general public.

I was born and raised and still live in Corpus Christi. When the news first broke, I automatically assumed a murder suicide or two girls fighting each other; it wasn't until later details came out that the idea someone else had shot these girls even came to mind. I can't state the opinion of other citizens but I never…

I tend to imagine them with Jamaican accents, a la The Little Mermaid.

I'm a seriously hard sleeper LOL :)

My childhood Siamese, Mao Se Tung (mouse-a-tongue), gave birth on my HEAD. I woke up one morning to kittens and goop, all over my head and favorite pillow. Seriously gross, but I guess I'm supposed to be honored?

My rescued Tibetan Spaniel lets me do this, but she has too much toe floofs to make it any fun for me. My Great Dane, however, wails and cries when I file his toenails. Oh the humanity!

I've posted about them before but Scentsy has a line of "man scents", and some of them are super good! I am a terrible Scentsy addict, I've probably spent over $100 on the bars alone; they're only $5 each lol
