Not many animals can be truly domesticated. Dogs are really alone in that game. Even cats aren't really domesticated But they're funny and when young, nice. We would let ours roam the neighborhood nd he'd go from house to house visiting people.

No, I have a postcard of a hamster on my bulletin board. I have bubbly stickers of hamsters too. They have little pink noses and orange and white fur. Little feet and they stand up and put food in their pouches. I love them. Henry used to come with me everywhere. I would put him in my pocket and he would sleep and sleep. I would bring him over my friend's house. Then one time he got out of his cage and I never found him again. I was really really upset. He was great.

Mrs Dr GB:
That made me laugh, but you're quite right, hamsters are just like tiny little bears. I might get some.

A horse bit me. Actually, I've been bitten by horses a bunch of times. They have big flat teeth. Powerful jaws though.

Mrs Dr GB:
Gazza bit me because he was trying to hump some neighbourhood dog in heat. It was like some terrible slow-motion thing. I was dog-sitting and this tosser dog jumped the garden fence, ran out into the road, then ran to the neighbour's house. The neighbours were there, getting their one-month old baby out of the car. Horny hound bounding towards them snarling. Me in hot pursuit. Happy days.

Mrs Dr GB:
But you completely win with the horse. You take the animal-chew prize.

There was this cat that lived in the warehouse at the shelter, Anisette, and she had a boyfriend that would come around and she would kick him out of the warehouse when she got bored with him. One night he got hit by a car. It was really sad.

It gets worse. There is this woman in Bay Ridge that has been hording animals. They sit in cages in horrible conditions and finally the Health Dept shut her down so my shelter took 22 of the dogs. They are going to be on Channel 7 news tonight I guess, Vinney. They need to shuffle these dogs around. I hate people like her, she makes life hard for a lot of people. I guess shes nuts.

bela:
Oh Anisette died too. Tony found her writhing around on the warehouse floor and he had to put her to sleep. He doesn't know what happened to her. She was really cute. Feral.

Then, last night, after my pet horrors Tom made us watch that WTC tradgedy documentary. It was so fucking sad I was balling my eyes out.

The couple that owned the pet store where I worked would occassionally bring home a yorkshire terrier puppy that caught their eyes. Turns out they have something like 30 of them, none house trained. The health department seized their house and store. There were piles of dog shit stacked up five feet against all the walls of their house. The store was always very clean. I think the terriers just snowballed out of control. I like the husband. The wife was nuts though. I don't know what happened to them.

Chewing Wax:
I started to read the NY Times magazine article about the phone calls and e-mails of all the people trapped above the floors that were hit. I couldn't get two paragraphs into the story.

People are crazy. This woman I want to kill. Tony and Vinney roped Tom in to picking up a few of the dogs with his van when he was there with bela - the vet is at the shelter. So Tom's transmission blew on the way home and thats $1000 on top of the $300 for the vet.

Dogs are easy to house train. easy. I don't undrstand why its so hard for some poeple. It took Seamus less than a week to learn where to take a dump. slah them later Cushca, if you slash them now, you won't be able to have any of the fish sticks I just put in the toatser oven.

Yorkshire terriers are notoriously impossible to house train.

We all scream for fish sticks.
(Wed May 29, 2002 - 11:35:40 am)
Cushca:
Are they those little fucking yappy dogs?
(Wed May 29, 2002 - 11:35:52 am)

They had the actual recordings, it was awful. You'll see this documentary, its on HBO. After the towers fell, you hear all these whistles going off. Tom said that was the emergency whistles from all the dead firemen.
(Wed May 29, 2002 - 11:36:04 am)
Chewing Wax:
I won't watch that. Are you nuts?
(Wed May 29, 2002 - 11:36:48 am)

Maybe I need to get my chi adjusted or something.
(Wed May 29, 2002 - 11:38:53 am)

I'm wearing it now. I wear it all the time.
