Argh- why are my hands and feet so fucked damned ITCHY?! I think I might be allergic to all the dust floating around at home at the moment. Never been so persistantly itchy in my life-aside from childhood chicken pox

I think I may know what this is about.

Self esteem time, I say. How would you feel about yourself knowing that other puppies, ones who deserve kibble, are not getting it in favour of a puppy that is simply too dense to learn the trick?

I say, be selfish. Keep the kibble, either give it to a deserving puppy, or be a puppy yourself and keep the kibble.

Does the puppy make you happy? Is there a selfish reason for having the puppy's attention? If no to both of those, I say don't. If the puppy makes you happy, or if you want to be around the puppy for other reasons, stay and kibble it up. Just be aware that the puppy bites.

Normally I do not stress so much about puppies, even if letting them run rampant is detrimental to myself. However, some recent happenings involving a much older dog of mine may or may not make things very awkward, should the two ever come into contact.

Best Case Scenario: Dog and puppy never meet.
Worst Case Scenario: Ugly.

In exposing this issue, I feel her majesty Queen Smel has involuntarily confused the topic. It is an inaccurate allegory. A puppy in general is capable of returning a lasting affection irrespective of whether kibble is in surplus or deficit. This puppy, however, being a simple creature, lacks the capacity to analyse its condition. Kibble is the solitary focus of its minute frontal lobes; it pursues kibble with a mindless determination, but without understanding the tragedy of such a narrow focus, nor the effect its behaviour is having on the way we perceive it. And so I propose we alter this allegory to that of the Paramecium and the Pipette. The Paramecium, cutely wiggling its cilia, cannot return affection in the complex way we normally expect to have it returned. Its repertoire of gratitude is limited, and it responds to pleasant and noxious stimuli in a depressingly predictable manner. The Pipette, however, is an animated function of the Hand, which in its congress with the Eye is executing orders from the Mind. A complex being,

I don't think I could have been corrected in a more amazing way.
