In Memoriam

[Vrede too]

Respect is something earned.

If someone's a shit bag, an asshole, if they constantly trash others in the most shameful and foul manners you can think of, dying doesn't absolve them of being a terrible person.

I feel no shame in not giving an ounce of respect to Rush.

Good riddance.

That won't stop the right-wing whining over how cruel we lefties are.

I'm happy that Dimbulb lived long enough to see the utter failure of his lifelong efforts with Joe's inauguration.

Do we let Stalin off he hook simply because he died? No. He's still a terrible person. What about Hitler? Nope. Ok those are extreme examples.

They hate George Soros. When he dies, are they going to call for respect simply because he died? Doubtful.

Hell, they were cheering RBG's death before she died; or at least wishing for it when they put up that notice she had died about a year before she did. Fox did this; don't know if Rush jumped in on it. Don't care.

There is that one redeeming fact for him living this long.

Not sure why you're asking me. I will both dance and piss on Dimbulb's grave, in that order.

The world became a much better place today.

Doubly so.

Because I have my suspicions you are on the deep state payroll.

Which makes me anti Dimbulb, Dolt .45 and other true patriots.

Thanks. If I ran a foundation I would give all the money to good groups in the names of hateful people.

I've been thinking of getting a dog.

Never had one as an adult, although I do like them.

Any suggestions?

Depends on you and your activity level. I need to get out and about. My guy has kept me sane through covid by going for long walks daily. You also get to chat with other dog walkers and dog admirers.

Most people who get dogs and are unhappy with them fail in one of two ways. They either: (1) get a very nice and appropriate dog and don't bother to train it; or (2)pick a dog that isn't appropriate for what they want to do with it or the conditions in which they live.

It doesn't much matter if the dog is purebred or mutt, s/he can be the greatest friend and companion ever if it's the right dog and well-trained.
"Trained" doesn't mean doing a lot of fancy stuff. It means being well-socialized, knowing how to behave in all the circumstances it encounters, walking peacefully on a leash, and reliably responding to at least the "7 common commands" of SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME, OFF, HEEL, and NO. Getting a professional trainer early on will pay for itself in the long run.

If a person gets the wrong dog for their needs, the relationship probably won't work. Working dogs gotta have a job. Little frou-frou dogs don't make very good hiking companions. Jack Russells are a waste of fur. (just my NVHO). Find out the dog's natural characteristics and likely good or not so good habits. Golden Retrievers are usually a great and safe choice - happy to go hiking, chase a ball, or lie on the couch. But they shed enough to weave a golden blanket every week, and tend to be cancer-prone. Labs are the most popular dog around right now, but not all labs are the same. If they're from a real working line, they take a lot of effort to keep them from getting bored and chewing the furniture. Surprising to some, retired/rescued Greyhounds usually make great pets. Think of a couch potato that can run 40 miles an hour. They weigh generally under 50 pounds and although they look sort of large walking around, they really do curl up into a small space.

Most dogs can learn to get along with any cats in the family, particularly if they start living with cats when they're pups. Do a lot of research on what characteristics you want and search carefully. Wouldn't hurt to get a knowledgeable dog person to help in the search.

Or just go to the local shelter and pick the first one that comes up to you. Believe it or not that has sometimes resulted in some good relationships. I wouldn't rely on that myself, though.

What did a Jack Russell do to you?



Hmmmm, nevermind.

Yeppers. I never had one myself, but they were/are popular with the horsey group. I remember one for example who had been going to horse shows his entire life. But every effin' time anybody walked past the area where he was, he was yapping and pulling out past the max of his tie-out. If you walked past him once, here he comes. If you then walked past him again on the way back, here he comes again. As far as I know, he never actually tried to bite anybody, and seemed to be friendly, but crazy. If you stopped to talk to his owner, the dog would happily accept a belly rub, then when you returned 10 minutes late, he's yapping at the end of his rope again. Crazy as a loon.

I have seen several Russells at once jumping three feet into the air against a sliding patio window, yapping all the time. For a looooong time. No matter their training or life experience, you can never trust them off leash. Their brain shuts down and off they go at whatever real or imaginary "prey" they see.

But some do make good pets, and the cute ones that snuggle up with a little kid or happily get carried around in a bag get the attention. But really, it's not a good choice of dog unless you're going to use it for what it's been bred for.

Those sound like the kind of dog trump should have.
