Sorry for spamming, but this was in need of posting. For those of you who haven't already heard this - ALAN MOORE IS SCARY! and also kind of awesome. ( Read more... )

I think the puppy may be defective. We walked past a dead goose today and she didn't even notice. Aren't puppies supposed to be all up in that, getting covered in feathers and glorying in dead thing-ness? After the walk I gave her a bath, which was a horror that defies the telling.
