I feel your pain. Those sound like really spoilt pets!

My dog (he lives with my parents now, but I still think about him as my dog), usually tries to play around before you put the lash on him. But it's a game: catch me if you can! (and usually he really wants to get out, so it doesn't last long).

I don't mind the playing around thing. It's cute. These guys hide behind furniture and snap and snarl.

They are not nice dogs at all. The people that live at what I call "the house from the fifties" are BFF with these people. They warned me AFTER I agreed to housesit that these dogs were evil little blighters.

*shakes head*

wow - this is so incredibly disturbing. I feel really sorry for the dogs, and for you for having to go through such a crazy weekend.

My dogs aren't perfectly trained and they're definitely spoiled, but god - not wanting to housebreak them because it would be traumatizing?

*♥ you for working at the Humane Society*

I've been donating $$$ to my local Humane Society since I got my first real job. I even occasionally write letters to the government. I have nothing but complete respect for people who work there. I've always wanted to volunteer, but it's one of the few things that gets me teary-eyed and sad. How do you not take all the dogs home?

First - omg miss piggy as princess leia icon!!! OMG, I love it!

Ok, no on to the comment... it really is. They're trying to be nice to these dogs but not instilling discipline with a dog is a form of cruelty. The dogs need a pack order and they're not providing it ( ... )

Your life is so amusing. I second the push for a collected works. Lots of amusing short stories all bound together.
