"Slips", not "slops".

Oh, I'm riveted to every word which slops from your golden fingers.

To be fair, HTTP would be a great STD.

I'm totally convinced that they were going to take the dog to be spayed and chipped three days after it disappeared. Totally.

I'm not referring to spaying the animal, I'm referring to installing a microchip which obviously could have been done at any other veterinary visit.

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.

Oh, Ari. I never make personal attacks, especially against The Dark Lord of Snark.

Uh huh.

She lost her dog because she failed to pick it up from the county shelter in the time allotted. After that happened it was no longer "her" dog and your argument is meaningless.

Listen, I know you really want your past behavior to be viewed as responsible dog owning behavior. So here: your behavior was totes mcgoats responsible.

You apparently are under the impression that they still had any claim on the dog when it was in Karma's control. They lost ALL claims on the dog when the county pound released it to Karma.

Exactly. Who wants to feel bloated during sex?

They're very common. Many shelters won't let you adopt a dog without one.

An adoption agency had two applicants for one dog. One applicant met their qualifications. The other applicant claims to be the former owner of the dog which she lost her rights to due to her own negligence.

Nope.

That's exactly what happened, isn't it?

You're right. Life is hard. That's why adults do things to make it easier, like making sure that your pet is properly identified.
