Animals. TBone pulled a twofer Saturday morning, both peeing on me and puking on me. Lovely.

Counting down the days to Friday night when I can pick up my dog. The house has been so empty with just the two cats; I can't even sleep through the night right now.

I discourage my cat with hot sauce at times, it seems to work.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

At one point, I let him lick a piece of food that had hot sauce on it. He coughed once and then went to drink for a while, and ever since then, he went to drink a lot of water.
In retrospect it seemed rather cruel, but the little bastard has to learn to not eat human food. We have kitty treats we use instead.

I picked up a "bitter yuck" spray to keep my gerbils from chewing up a particular piece of one of their cages. Then I saw one of them promptly licking it up after spritzing the area in question. I tried it myself, but man it was bad. I guess the gerbil just has odd taste.
Hmmm. At first glance I thought the title read, "A hawk just stole one of my children." All this talk about wire enclosures and whatnot had me scratching my head until I realized my mistake.
Al Queda is giving a reward of camels and chooks for any information leading to President Obama or Hilary Clinton. Just saying if you want more chickens...

I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.
My sister had a German Shepherd that used to chew up the outdoor furniture so she bought this stuff to spray on it...
"Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?"

No more snakes since .
I knew our wild life was considered pretty scary but now I'm getting a little nervous. What kind of animal walks away from that only to try again next door?

But only awesome crimes like bushranging and, if I understand the song correctly, sheep stealing and suicide.

Well, snakes dont really walk, but i'd say a really mean tempered one that is persistent and bent on revenge.
Thought for today; if you are going to kill anything, make sure its dead when you're done.
Once a hawk attacked my parent's pet ducks while I was outside with them, watering the gardens. I just remember a brown blur fly in front of me, and when I turned to see what it was, there was a redtail hawk attacking the male mallard! I chased it off, and quickly put the ducks back in their pen...safe to say they were paranoid the next few days
