Oh awesome look! Another box into which women are stuffed in to based on shoddy conclusions of flavor of the week, cool kid pick and choose trend data.

Fanny packs are awesome for these sorts of things. Any one that says differently doesn't know what they are talking about.

I just posted a comment about this before I saw yours! Yes!

I'm struggling to think of a part of Los Angeles that isn't corrupt.

The problem with this story is that Irwindale doesn't really have that many residents, fewer than 1,500, but does have a history of corrupt officials (including the current mayor & a councilman involved in this case with charges of corruption pending against them!) who enrich themselves by soliciting consultancy gigs…

Everyone is different, of course, but when my last dog died I couldn't get another soon enough. It wasn't a "replacement" per se - it was just that a new puppy makes me happier than anything in the universe, and I had been so sad.

Sensationalized headlines used to make not-so-life-or-death stories sound like its LITERALLY LIFE OR DEATH is lame click baity garbage used to drive eyes to stories that don't deserve it.

There are sooooo many fucked up things going on in Hawaii. People have no idea. Moving here from the mainland is nothing like moving to a new state. It's like moving to a new country.

The dog went to a county shelter before it was released to the Karma shelter.

Oh, please. No vet in the world has ever said "let's wait on chipping the dog".

Which is why it's so important to have your dog properly identified. A major part of responsible dog ownership.

Disagreeing with you doesn't mean I'm sanctimonious. It means I have a different opinion than you.
