re:

I was chatting with a self described dog lover recently who had gone to a "dog show" where they had everything from people selling dog related products to having dogs available for adoption. This person was concerned as they met potential new "best friends", they were put in a quandary as to whether they should take the cute smart dog they liked the most, or to try and find the worst most hideous canine available. Now this is truly a lover of animals, only concerned with giving the dog that nobody else would want, a home. Altruistic to say the least, while at the same time butt-fucking crazy. Now coupled with yesterday's post I may be beginning to sound like a black hearted heel. But can we speak candidly please? It's survival of the fittest. When picking a new roommate you wouldn't seek out the filthiest, least employable scrub, with elephantitis. So why then would you seek out a patch work, behaviorally challenged mutt as your new pet? If the dog don't have the skills than it will inevitably find itself on the short list for destruction. Mean, unfair, sad, and true. I was interested that they were dressing the dogs up and having a fashion show as a means of pawning the beasts off. Just like make-up can only save some faces, and Lysol only serves to make a filthy odor taste bad, putting a sweater vest on what looks like a cross between Kissyfur and Yahoo Serious will not mask the issues.
