These bitches are shameless:
I have the most pampered animals on the planet, and as soon as anyone comes for a visit, they throw themselves at my guests. In fairness, it is working, because I caught Shawn giving them treats IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, so maybe they are smarter than I think.

Your pets are the best JC, obviously the sign of a good owner.
Glocksman
Of course they’re smarter than you think.
They’ve got you trained to feed and house them, with frequent petting and belly rubs as an added bonus.
Then again, I subscribe to the old saw of the more I learn about people, the more I love my dog.
I guess I’m well trained too.

I’m re-posting this for you Cole. My Dog The Paradox.
I’m glad to see you and your buddy are together. Not many people know what that means.

Rosie’s not even trying to be discreet!!

He doesn’t look like a bitch but you know him better than we do.

So, Los Angeles area folks — GTG on Saturday evening? Story Tavern in Burbank, or does someone have a better idea?
Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader
John, how do you think Shawn is going to fit into our BFF (Brothers Fuckhead & Fathead) thing? I’m already feeling pushed aside a little and maybe a little resentful.

To be fair, Lilly was alluring enough to catch your attention at the shelter when you went looking for a cat companion for Tunch, and Rosie literally jumped into your car when you met her running down the highway. So you should’ve known they were, to use the polite term, people-focused.
Tuesday night, our ‘new’ cat — Red Rocket, who came to live with us last April — kept the whole household up all night with what turned out to be a ‘mild’ urinary blockage. (Thank Goddess the 24-hour emergency clinic is only a mile away, also we only had to spend $600, so far, instead of the projected $1200.) He’s being unusually affectionate now, which is good, because it means we can get the muscle-relaxant capsules and syringes of painkiller down his throat without too much stress. But the uproar / change in routine means that rescue alpha-bitch Gloria is taking out her fears on the other two, somewhat smaller male dogs. The drawbacks of acquiring one’s animal companions from the equivalent of the Dings & Dents aisle…

Hey! No slut shaming.
What are those girls gonna think around that kind of talk?
jl
Maybe Rosie hypnotized your guest with her psychic (or psycho?) eyes?
mellowjohn
have to disagree, cole. my cats are treated so well that if re-incarnation is a thing, i wanna come back as one of them
jl
@mellowjohn: That sounds good, Just be sure to exercise some due diligence before you come back. Some owners get it into their heads that it would be a good idea to shave your ass. It’s been known to happen.
kc
Is she lying on the back of the couch . . . like a cat?
jl
@kc: I think it’s an action shot. Rosie is in mid lick and moving in for the kill.

My kittehs has more emotional intelligence than most humans I have come across.

@Mnemosyne: This is my sad face because I won’t be in LA until next week. But you guys have fun and there’d better be photos.

@Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader: Do you have a beard? Then all 3 of you can moonlight as extras in the Fiddler on the roof.

Hence the laser-eyed focus . . .

@raven: Re feeding dogs vegetables. I don’t where they got the idea that any food from me was a treat but the greyhounds wouldn’t eat broccoli that others tried to give them, but if I had broccoli pieces in my hand they would sit and wait for me to give them the broccoli.

@Anne Laurie: Sorry to hear about your poor kitteh – also about the poor furbutts subject to Alpha Bitch’s moods.
On a happier note (I hope), I left a thank-you for you in the last thread. Well, after I got the requisite bitching out of the way, of course.
Also, if you want to see the latest on our most recent Dents-N-Dings

A Federal Judge in Virginia has ruled that Virgina’s laws against Same Sex Marriage are unconstitutional
And like his bretheren in Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Utah, he cited Justice Scalia’s dissent in Windsor v US. Good stuff that.

@Soonergrunt: Unfortunately, a federal court tossed out California’s new conceal carry law. We’ll see where that goes.
Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader
@schrodinger’s cat: No, I’m too damn good looking to hide under a beard.

Virginia marriage ban unconstitutional … No link ,sorry

We adopted a new young doggie from the shelter 2 weeks ago after having lost one of our beloved old doggies in November. Days later, we found out our other old beautiful doggie (who we thought was just depressed over the passing of her brother) is suffering from multiple serious problems including diabetes and an as yet undiagnosed spine issue.
So the last two days in the middle of this fucking shit weather have been a 24/7 ordeal of trying to coordinate insulin injections and constant drinking/peeing of Elder Doggie with manic toddleresque “why won’t she PLAY with me” hysteria of Younger Doggie.
Tired as shit, I iz it.

@Betsy: Linky fer thee.

@Aji: Thanks, and I bow to your determination… I’m whinging about twenty-pound dogs, and you’re rehabbing horses!
@John Cole: Thanks to you, too also.
Aji
@Anne Laurie: [Snort] the horses are easier than the 20-lb. dogs, y’ask me. I don’t envy you at all. :-D

@eemom: If new puppeh wants to play, you know what that means… a trip to the shelter for another young puppeh.
