My head, which has decided to continue the migraine/stress headache from yesterday today

Yet again, it is pet "owners." I am fostering a 4 year old Basset Hound because his owners gave him up. I think they were just looking for a reason to get rid of him. They kept him and an old Lab mix out in their garage. They bought some chicks and the Basset decided that they looked tasty (he is a hunting breed...what did they expect???). So then they decided to buy more chicks and put them out on the front porch...not away from the dog. They bought a third set of chicks and left them out for several hours. Why the idea of supervising their dog or putting the chicks where he couldn't get them is totally foreign to them is beyond me. The end result is a nice doggie that needs a home because of stupid people. They left him at the animal hospital and don't care what happens to him.

Sorry to hear AV. I wish I could do something to help out. Unfortunately, we don't really have the room for any more. With 1 dog, 3 cats, 1 bird, and fish (I would like to point out here that these are not my animals they are my Dad's wife's), we don't have the room for anything else.

And this couple may have as many children as they wish.

All the same...if anyone happens to know someone that would love a Basset, let me know :)

Dealing with bureaucratic run-arounds

grrrrr
 

Fucking yankee. If you don't get the joke you weren't the target audience and just because I'll take gentle criticism from my FRIEND who happens to be a goddamn yankee ( a yankee is a northerner, a damn yankee is a northerner who comes down for vacation, and goddamn yankee is one who comes down here and decides to stay ) it doesn't mean I'll be open to the same comments from someone elses yankee.

oh and the lady from work just passed her cpr first aid course.... wheeeeeeee she's accomplished so much...... riiiiiiiiight and yet she can't remember how to do a job she's been doing for almost two years? grrrrrrrrr she's from Detroit and thinks she knows everything about politics, unions, and how the only reason people dislike President Obama is because he is a "black man taking over where the white man has always been in power" and "the white men don't like a black man being in charge...." bitch the man could be PURPLE with orange spots and antlers people don't like him because he's a politician and there will ALWAYS be critics, some group that held on to one particular part of a speech will be upset because he hasn't managed to pull it through. Politicians promise pegasus unicorns when all they;re getting is a miniature horse farm. In the end they'll have something with four hooves, and equine head that can fly for a small amount of time, the critics call it jumping, sometimes they manage to glue a horn on it but it never stays on long and no matter how obvious it is to the majority that it was just decoration, someone is going to be disappointed.

i need chocolate

Sales people who don't know crap about what you need.

My daughter wanted a fish. Granted I should have done a bit of research first. But when I bought a Blood Parrot and said it was going in a 5.5 gallon tank, you would think the guy selling me a heater and air thing would have mentioned the fish needs a 30 gallon at least. Found that out from a message board. So now I need to try and get a bigger tank as soon as I can. CRIPES!!!!!!!!

A simple fish has turned into a big mess!!!!!!!

Just don't forget the 'FUCKING yankee' part. :wink:

OR ................ you could take the fish back and get some that would suite the tank and attachments you already are stick with. :shrug:


PS
We missed you in Vegas :tear:

It can happen all too easily.

We saw.

I had something similar happen. Only mine was an Oscar (aka velvet cichlid). I realize that the common assumption is that people working in a specialized department should have a general knowledge of the product, but chances are you were dealing with someone working a summer job and only know to feed the fish x times a day and not what kind of fish they are. It's like getting your oil changed at Wal Mart. I worked the Tire Lube Express and had no prior experience working on cars except my own. Isn't it nice to know that people are driving on tires that I installed with on the job training?

LOL, ya I'll stick to tire stores thanks.

Missed you too!

She loves that fish, can't take it back.

Will find a tank somehow. Its not like it will die tomarrow, it seems happy.

There's nothing like a happy fish. Right Lil. ;)

So I figured out the Fish reference. LOL

:whack:


Who the hell would know ya old cock blocker!!!!!!! :argue:
:whack:

She gets tetchy when she's not getting her way, hey PF?

Yup, people are still morons...
We had a Lab go home yesterday after spending the night at our clinic. It originally had gone to an emergency service. Apparently, a couple left their teenage son at home alone with the dog. At some point, the son noticed the dog eating a pack of cigarettes. He took it to the emergency place and told them she had eaten an entire pack of cigarettes as well as possibly an iPod. After reading the initial report, at the very end of the paragraph "owner thinks she may have eaten some marijuana" was tacked on. She was treated for marijuana toxicity after she was radiographed. The owner also claimed that she had vomited, was lethargic, and was having trouble using her rear legs. She had a pretty elevated temperature as well. Now if that wasn't bad enough, here's the topper: she had a HORRIBLE bruise covering almost the entire region under her chest. Our doctor said that it was "blunt force trauma." She believes that the boy KICKED this dog in the chest. Some people just need to be "weeded" out of the population.

I agree :mad:

And just to keep it on equal footing, .............. I may know the dog to do it.


If he can't, he has a partner that can.

Bot getting the paperwork that was supposedly sent out on Friday (and if it was actually sent on Friday, it should have been here by now) so I can make an appointment (they refuse to make one until I fill out this paperwork) so I can make sure I can get a prescription for my meds :banghead:

PF, did you notice that the sniper was in Aussie Camo?

I thought the spotter was :shrug:

Hmmmmm.

Work, owner has no flipping clue about retail. One of those days I'd like to walk out if I could.

My daughter blowing off her chores.

Story from my hometown, and it happened only a few blocks from my parent's place. And this is small-town Iowa, this stuff isn't supposed to happen there :banghead:

Are our kids twins??

Pair of dress shoes ruined by mold. Garden level apartment has some issues. Since none of the upstairs apartments will be opening up for a long time I have no choice but to move again when income tax hits next year.

A pushy salesperson cornered me in my driveway. I had to be rude to get him to let me by, but damn it, I was running late already and didn't have time to be more polite.

Hoof repair that is too little too late. ........... (actually made things much better but not when I needed it most) :banghead:

Scroll wheel is wonky, guess I wore another mouse out.

Fricken net keeps going in and out. Calling cable company, tired of this crap. Its not my wireless thing either, its their fricken signal.

No friggin ADSL yet! WTF????

Getting 2 texts from the same person at the same time, one meant for another girl.

OMG!!! I had decent at work....the first in about 3 weeks, and so I go to get my hair cut.....and go to right aid when I'm done with my hair.........I walk up to my car and see this old guy trying to pull into the space next to my car....emphasis on TRYING. From the angle I was seeing it from it looked like he had hit my car, so I go over to check and he starts screaming at me.

He think I'm complaining about not being to get out of the spot. I said I just wanted to make sure you didn't hit my car....he starts screaming that I need to learn how to drive, I started yelling back. I said , "Look how you're parked, but I need to learn how to drive ?" He was in the parking space diagonally, and just kept screaming at me.......I was so frustrated and upset, that I ended up hitting the guy in front of me. HE was so nice.....he checked for damage (there was none) and he waved me off, he said he saw what happened and knew I was upset, so he told me to enjoy the rest of my evening and he drove off...........

Canadian Tire sold me a set of Christmas lights that only half lit up! Grrr! Wilderness is gone to get it exchanged... I was hoping to have the lights up outside today!
