I didn't really have any say when it came to getting them. With Rebel, I didn't even know they'd gotten him until my mom texted me about it afterward. Oh, that sucks. well, there must be some advantages to being a loner, no one decides stuff over my head. Eh, I've gotten used to it by now.

I've spent quite a while researching dog breeds online and meeting with dog owners, trying to figure out the which breed fits best into my live. Whippets where the answer, for mostly practical reasons. The first time I saw them in real live, I found them way to skinny and not pretty... now I can't imagine a more beautiful breed. I feel you, I wouldn't been happy with more active breeds. I'm glad I knew enough different dogs to realize, that the right breed is important. I didn't really have any say when it came to getting them. With Rebel, I didn't even know they'd gotten him until my mom texted me about it afterward.

I see the third dog's nose, peeking out from under the blanket, too cute! X3 And we've already tried training, classes, everything. It just doesn't stick because Axel and Rebel are so spastic. And most of the time they bark so loud you can barely hear yourself shout over it... Yes, it's the cutest thing ever <3 I have this picture of Neela (left on the above pic) as my twitter-ava: Yeah, my girls will only obey as long as I am close. Otherwise, they'll go: "You can't touch us!" and do their business *sigh* The only reason my neighbors aren't on the fence is, that Whippets prefer to spend 18-20 hours a day sleeping as pictured above ;-) Starting to wish we had whippets, but our dogs are a terrier mix and a shepherd mix, just too much for me.

Okay, this might be a bit of a long one, so sorry about that.
One of my mom's friends has had no end of trouble with her sixteen-year-old lately. I mean, the kid's always had problems, but in the last few months it has completely exploded. The kid's been doing pot, coke, heroin and who knows what else. She's also been drinking, a lot. There's also been no end to the lies, abuse and manipulation. She's told everyone she knows she's pregnant multiple times, tells her mother constantly that she needs to "fuck off and fucking die". Granted, her mom isn't exactly a top-notch parent (I swear she cares more about her foster dogs than she does for any human), but she's far from abusive, as this girl keeps claiming. The woman also has less backbone than a freaking jellyfish, she has a history of giving in and forgetting to punish her daughter if she promises to do one chore or another, or if all she does is whine about being tired or something. This girl is also known for being more than a bit of a slut, but I never held that against her until she started up with all this other shit.
Things started getting even worse when she started seeing her latest boyfriend, who's about as big a piece of garbage as a human can get. He's a drug dealer, a thief, a liar, a manipulator, a mix of pretty much every kind of scum there is. He's the reason she flew off the handle and continues to be the most negative influence in her life to date. Since she met him, she's run away from home numerous times, texting her mother the most disgusting things, including the "fuck off and die" comments I mentioned earlier. There have also been instances where he's snuck into her house while her mother isn't home, saying things like "You can't keep me from my girl." "She's mine and you can't change that.", you get the idea. I have wanted to mutilate his sorry ass ever since I first learned about him, but he's the type to throw down the victim card, and he's also a minor, which means I'd be the only one to get in trouble. Even with his constant in-and-out-of-juvie streak.
My mom had this girl arrested the last time she came to our house, which brings me to my next grievance about this whole situation. The laws regarding child runaways where I live are completely screwed up. This girl has been taken to rehab facilities numerous times by now, but despite the known fact she's a high flight risk and has a pick up order out on her, they refuse to admit her as an inpatient. Apparently, doing all this crap, running away every time she's admitted as an outpatient, being caught on video breaking into cars and doing any number of hard drugs as a fucking minor isn't enough for them to put her where she can't fuck herself and everyone around her over anymore. I don't know what they think they're going to do by continuing this pattern; she was taken back again tonight and she's probably already vanished again.
I am getting really, really close to going out and finding her myself, beating her pathetic ass to within an inch of her life and ripping off her boyfriend's dick and shoving it down his throat, or up his ass, whichever I feel like doing at the time. I also may or may not tear his head off as well, haven't decided yet. It's obvious the state is never going to be able to solve the problem, she's just way too fucking stupid and their rules are just way too fucking useless.
Edit: Yep, she's vanished again, but this time her mom says she's done. We'll see how long that lasts...
Second edit: So, she's now in jail (and her mom wants to bail her out. Really bad idea!) and her boyfriend tried taking the coward's way out and hanging himself. As far as I know he's still on a ventilator. I'm hoping he either goes quietly, or if he does wake up, he realizes what a pathetic piece of shit he's been his whole life and finally grows up.

Yet another lazy Sunday afternoon: (There are 3 dogs in this picture ;-) ) muskratthemink I am sorry, that sounds terrible... I haven't found a way to stop my girls to bark at the neighbors, but I am lazy, I just don't spent time outside when they are outside ^^" You could try to teach them a comand to stop what they're doing, but that is time consuming and you need to be very strict for it to work. I guess a fence would be the easiest solution. I see the third dog's nose, peeking out from under the blanket, too cute! X3 And we've already tried training, classes, everything. It just doesn't stick because Axel and Rebel are so spastic. And most of the time they bark so loud you can barely hear yourself shout over it...

It's gone far beyond whatever original intentions it might have had. It has gotten to the point where the people supporting it no longer care about stereotypes, they want to bury any point they don't agree with, no matter how minimal of an impact it might have on any given discussion. Try getting off of Tumblr. I've never been on Tumblr, or Twitter, but I still hear about it because people are always talking about it.

This whole "political correctness" movement needs to go die in the hole it crawled out of. -_- What, you mean the novel notion that insulting stereotypes have no place in general discourse? It's gone far beyond whatever original intentions it might have had. It has gotten to the point where the people supporting it no longer care about stereotypes, they want to bury any point they don't agree with, no matter how minimal of an impact it might have on any given discussion.

It is really funny, and they linked the abuse connection along with FilmTheory theory of cult abuse. I still haven't seen the movie personally. I have about as much desire to see it as my desire to see Pixels. If you have never watched CinemaSins, there goes the rest of your day. Make sure you watch to the end because they do flimovers of what a scene reminded you of in another movie. But I am posting this because they cover the constant sleeping point in the story that Jenny Covers, but in a video game fashion. it is hysterical. www.youtube.com/watch?v=atfIIDZRk9EI freaking LOVE CinemaSins, though even just watching the clips he uses from the movie is too much of it for me. I've seen that cult vid, too, and it scares me to see how on-point this story is with that doctrine.

Our neighbor just said she'd kill our dogs if they ever jumped into her yard. With the way the idiots bark at hers, and have since we first got them, it doesn't surprise me. They bark incessantly pretty much any time they see something out there. People, squirrels, other dogs, it doesn't matter. Shock collars are pretty much impossible to get, and we don't have the money to put up a privacy fence. I'm starting to think that'd be the only way to solve the problem, putting up that fence so our dipshit dogs can't see anything.

I really never got that. Same thing with unsliced hard rolls and bagels; does anyone ever actually eat those things without cutting them in half first? You just cut them in half? Germans eat so much bread, even if I don't, for me, those things are totally normal ^^" Yep, we just cut them in half, sometimes toast them, then put cream cheese or whatever we happen to feel like putting on them.

Something that gets me mad? The very concept of unsliced bread. Why does anyone bother buying it? There's a reason the phrase "Best thing since sliced bread" was penned. I really never got that. Same thing with unsliced hard rolls and bagels; does anyone ever actually eat those things without cutting them in half first?

I can't even...I don't even know how to respond to this... You know when people kidnap relatives from cults and de-brainwash then? That, just.. That. Unless he is right and she is just attention seeking, then... slap the stupid out of her. The second video was... asking for it. I didn't watch the second video, I don't think I got half-way through this one.
