I hate Christmas!
WHY DO WE EVEN CELEBRATE this MORONIC holiday? Commercialism - fine. Romance - fine! I don't care. What I do care about is the ridiculous influx of idiots at work wanting puppies and kittens for Christmas.
We've been trotting out this "Pets are for life, not just for Christmas" slogan for years and nobody listens!
Stupid questions I have been asked over the last week:
1. Eight weeks is too old. Can I have one of those smaller ones? No. Those kittens are a week old. They haven't been weaned. Aside from which, kittens can easily find homes. Stop being a bastard and get a cat instead.
2. How long is it okay to leave her in a box under the tree? ZERO SECONDS.
(i) What if I punch air holes in the box? How would YOU like to be shut into a box for a few hours? NO MEANS NO!
(ii) I figure I could hide her in the wardrobe... ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOURSELF?!
3. Can I return it if she doesn't like it? Yes. But. FOR GOD'S SAKE IT'S A LIVING CREATURE. Have you really considered the responsibility of taking care of a pet?
4. Can I train it to attack on sight? YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LET YOU THE FUCK NEAR A DOG?!
We're going to see at LEAST half of those pets back after a month, some of them half-starved, and I don't even want to think about some of the ones that don't come back to us.
