No...I don't think we know how it happened. Honestly sometimes a dog is basically a psychopath. Happened to someone I know, a good dog owner, but her dog's aggression issues couldn't be changed and the vet said the dog's brain was just miswired. I think it's a sad situation and accidents happen.

I really do envy people like this who give zero fucks and get things done, while I sit here giving too many fucks and getting nothing creative done. Good for you, Jan.

Depending on where you live, Meetup.com can be great for that. In my area it's really active because a lot of people relocate here.

Yeah, my dog would be running at 25 mph with that thing bouncing off the pavement behind her.

Zuke's buyout! UGH. I hadn't heard. Those were my go-to treats until they changed their formula a few years ago and my dog had gastro issues. That's a disappointment.

I have and I do. Plus, she used "some schmuck" in her email, and that wins points.

What, no Benghazi or Obummer?

I am a huge fan of Acana, which is made by the same people who make Orijen - Acana is a little less rich (better for my dog) and costs a little less than Orijen. The company has never had a recall and they don't outsource their manufacturing. They may be the only one who doesn't. My dog had been on three foods in a…

I felt like that yesterday, so I'm going to start doing that too.

I love this so much. I love her sweater too. *sniffle*

But...we don't know that. Honestly I think it's kinda sexist in a way to assume that a woman can't be every bit as much of an asshole as a man.

I agree, except that the bully boss is really a thing - in fact a good friend of mine was sent to bad boss camp for a week. Her entire department complained about her. I met her at work (though we were peers) and I know she's mercurial and awful as a boss, though brilliant at what she does. Sometimes there's no…

Sometimes great editors are not great bosses, though.

Here's the thing though. What if she really was a mercurial and polarizing boss? I'm so conflicted, because I had a completely abusive yet mega-talented editor who rose through the ranks and left her employees weeping, at times. I've also had male crap bosses. I want to support her, and I know that I can come off as…

Was about to say the exact same thing.

You know, I'd just have to take off the entire gown because honestly I know I would somehow pee on it if I didn't.

It was the first thing I thought about.

Softball field between home plate and first base in broad daylight, or at least early morning daylight - with pretty much zero foliage to hide us. It was dark out when we got there. the story is kind of ruined because I was completely mortified and never wanted to go back to that neighborhood again (the field was…

I'm consciously uncoupling from this list.
