I was on BPO (Of course) then I realized Sanity was being quiet.  Too quiet......... .  I turn around and he knocked over the garbage and was picking through it.  He saw he was discovered and grabbed the first thing he could (A used Green Tea bag) and took off.  I ran after him and right when he was starting to go down the stairs I grabbed him around the waist and attempted to haul his bony butt back upstairs.  He's clawing to get away and I'm yanking for all I'm worth.  I get him upstairs and just stare at him.  He spits out the tea bag and goes to the bed room to pout.  I go to check on him a few minutes later and he had ripped all my covers back and was "hiding" from me.  

YOU CAN'T SEE ME MOM!!!!!!

I just wanted to thank you for the toy you gave out in chat the other night.  I use it all the time, and just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated it.

I was watching People's court and they had a case where this girl bought an Alpha Blue Blood Bulldog, and the guy who sold it to her (Who she found out on the news was arrested for running a puppy mill and selling puppies early, falsifying health certificates and selling mix breed pups as pure breds) never gave her the dog's papers.  The guy gives the judge the certificate that says the dog was registered in the "Native American Canine Club"  The woman who bought the dog is upset because she said the dog is supposed to be registered ARF (Animal Research Foundation).  They go to commercial and come back where the judge says that she tried to contact this registry, there's no number on the certificate, no number on the correspondence from the registry to the "Breeder", she finds the town, calls 411 and there's no listing, looks it up online and the site is down, calls AKC and they've never heard of them.  Leading the judge to think that the breeder falsified the papers.  Then the judge finds out the reason the client is so adamant about the registration is because apparently the ARF is the only registry that rocognizes that breed.  Long story short the woman got $650 back (She paid $700 for the dog and said that without papers the dog is only worth $50), but what I want to know is this, has anyone ever heard of these two registries?  I know that there are a TON of bogus registries, along with legitamate ones, and a registry is pretty much on an honesty program, but I'd never heard anything about these two.  In fact the ARF sounds like a medical research foundation.

I was going through the petrockfest site, and clicking on all the links and I came across this site.  I started bawling my eyes out.  I don't know how someone who's job it is to care for animals can do something like this.

I knew I was taking a risk leaving BPO for 2 and a half whole days.  Damn I have a lot to catch up on.  Anyways, my Honey and I went camping with two friends of ours, and we just bonded so much on this trip.  It was great.  I'm posting some pics.

Happy Matt


Playing some weird bastardized version of horseshoes.


Group shot of us and our friends


Close of of Matt and I (Taken from Group shot)  I hadn't showered in 2 days, was hung over as h*ll, and look like crap, but I'm so happy because I have like no shots of Matt and I.


ADORABLE 10 week old Shiba puppy that totally ignored me and made me very sad.




And what happened with Sanity........ ....  Well I was told there were no dogs allowed at the campground, later we found it was very dog friendly, but whatever.  Well my grandmother said she would watch Sanity.  I was happy, but I should probably mention that this is the ultimate Momma's boy's first night with out said Momma.  First off he started stealing my grandmother's stuff.  Then this morning she lets him out, brings him back in and goes to church. Comes back and Sanity had laid an ENORMOUS solid deuce in the bedroom.  (Here I must admit what a freak I am because as she was telling me the story I was like "It was solid?  OMG that's so great!"  Stupid crazy dog people)  She goes to flush it and it was too big/heavy to go down, and the toilet backflowed everywhere.  She lets Sanity out for FOUR HOURS and he refused to come in.  He would stick his head in the door then run away and stare at her.  She called me (Of couse I was out of service) freaking out about leavng him but she had to go to church.  Well I get home and Sanity is sitting in the middle of the FREAKING ROAD!  So I get out and he about plotzed, ran to me and plowed me over crying and fussing and moaning about how horrible I was to leave him.  I open the door and he jumps in the car (Continuing to swear and complain), I get him in the house and he hugs me and I felt like the worst person ever.  But now I know dogs are welcome so I'll be taking him next time.

Hobo has this thing we call "The Wolf Face", it's when average lovable huggable cuddly Hobo looks like a dog who just tore through the gates of h*ll. 

See Here.


Well when Sanity was about 5 or 6 months old, Hobo decided that he needed to teach Sanity how to do the Wolf Face.  Kind of like a big brother teaching a little brother to punch people. 

"See you go like this"


"Like this?"


"K now go show mom"


"OMG!  Dude you bit me!  I am SO telling on you!"


Then Hobo started picking on his little brother

"Hey, what's up?"


"'Scuse me"


"BOO!"


"You better watch your back!"


"OK screw it I'm gonna take you down right now!'


"That's what you think Punk"


"OK OK OK! Uncle!  I'm sorry!"


"What were we fighting about again?"

Well the ad agency didn't call me so I called them today.  The guy said he was really sorry but he hired someone else.  I was kind of confused, because they said that they were doing 2nd and 3rd interviews, but whatever.  I said thanks for the opportunity and hung up.  I'm bummed.
