I know, I know, get my own blog! But this mutt needs a home. And I need help!
Posted by tizzie at May 06, 2003 08:44 AMAnother of Tizzie's waifs and strays! This guy is (believe it or not) only about 7 months old. He was dumped on the highway 2 weeks ago - we've got him all fixed up and ready to go to a new home.
Better looking than Hugh Jackman? You decide.
Awwwwwwwwww.
And I don't even really like dogs. But I really don't like people who abandon them.
Posted by: witchstone on May 6, 2003 10:20 AMPeople who abandon them go to a special little acid pit in hell when they die.
But enough of that! He's a terrific dog, and I'd love to keep him. The problem is that when all six dogs lie down at the same time, there's no floor space. It's impossible to walk in my house!
Posted by: tizzie on May 6, 2003 10:31 AMWho needs dogs when you can have monkeys riding goats?
(Yes, yes, pinched from the blue. I sorry.)
Posted by: Vidiot on May 6, 2003 10:57 AMBy the way, if that dog is only 7 months old--how big is he going to get???
Posted by: witchstone on May 6, 2003 10:59 AMVidiot, you beat me to it. Pavlov would be proud of the reaction monkey pictures seem to cause 'round these parts.
Oh, and the look on that dog's face?
*heart melts*
Posted by: Cyrano on May 6, 2003 11:03 AMOh, he's so cute...and were I not many states away...I might try and talk my current critters, husband and baby into letting me have him. He's got the greatest face...looks quite intelligent. I adore the little eyebrows. ;) And my dog could use a playmate, she's been feeling lonely and left out since Tommy arrived. She just doesn't understand why she's not the baby anymore.
Posted by: Dejah420 on May 6, 2003 11:11 AMThat's the exact same face Rebecca Gayheart made in the tabloid when she ran over that kid in her SUV.
Posted by: dong resin on May 6, 2003 11:13 AMBut just think of what a good excuse I'd have for a Monkey Road Trip if I were delivering him to you, Dejah!
He is gonna be a big 'un. No less than 100 pounds full grown is my guess. His head comes up to my hip - he's long-legged and skinny. When he runs, he bounds along like a deer, laughing all over his face.
Posted by: tizzie on May 6, 2003 11:22 AMThat's the exact same face the monkey made in the tabloid when he ran over that kid on his goat.
And Tizzie, don't worry about posting adoption notices here. As far as I'm concerned, you are very welcome. The more who get to see the pooch, the more likely he'll get a good home.
I only wish I could have a dog, and that he could drive to California to stay with me! You are where, Tennessee?
Posted by: kafka, esq. on May 6, 2003 11:42 AMHumbert Humbert and Lolita were abandoned kitties we picked up from the Summit Animal Rescue Association.
Posted by: adampsyche on May 6, 2003 12:42 PMKentucky, Kaf. But we'd drive him to California!
We're only marginally sane, you see.
Posted by: tizzie on May 6, 2003 12:43 PMGet down, get down, get down, get down tonite!
Posted by: KC and the Sunshine Band on May 6, 2003 12:52 PMI've been beat up. I've been thrown out. But I'm not down.
Posted by: The Clash on May 6, 2003 01:05 PM*smacks witchstone*
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Posted by: Tom Waits on May 6, 2003 01:06 PMHey Tiz--Since I am (maybe) the closest in proximity, I'll be sure to ask around.
Good on you for being such a sweetie to the strays!
Posted by: brittney on May 6, 2003 01:06 PMI would just like to point out here that it is a poor and wrong thing to give Rod credit for Downtown Train.
Posted by: pedant on May 6, 2003 01:06 PMI debated, but Tom Waits had already appeared in the thread, and I didn't want to be repetitive!
Jesus.
But I like it when Tom smacks me around.
Posted by: witchstone on May 6, 2003 01:10 PMYeah, sorry. I get that way when I think of Rod Stewart.
Umm.. ahem... where was I?
Well Zenora Bariella
and Corander Pyle
They had sixteen children
in the usual style....
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down
Down
Down
Down
But, you can go ahead and let your son...oh never mind.
Posted by: Elton John on May 6, 2003 02:07 PMWho did that song in the movie Car Wash "I'm going down?"
Posted by: adampsyche on May 6, 2003 02:10 PMI been down so long, bein' down don't bother me.
Posted by: A Rather Insouciant Sting on May 6, 2003 02:14 PMDown in the valley,
the valley so low.
Hang your head over,
let your feet go.
And what person'd want to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go?!
Shakin' shakin'
Tearin' down the walls.
Little by little, inch by inch,
Tearin' down the walls.
You know...I'm a lifelong Mac person, but that Alienware schiz-nit is making me want to go to the darkside.
Help me Obi-Wan!
Posted by: ColdChef on May 6, 2003 03:19 PMDown in the boondocks Down in the
boondocks People put me down 'cause That's the side of town I was born in
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet
inside my future eye
what i see just makes me cry
i'm way down now
i'm way down now
Hey, don't forget the puppy! Tell your friends! Find TJ and Mars Crash and Ufez and tell them!
Heck, I could swim him over to Portugal if it comes to that...
Posted by: tizzie on May 6, 2003 09:37 PMI'll be happy to take the puppy, tizzie, as long as there are a: absolutely no follow up questions as to it's whereabouts, and b: a handy place nearby where I can exchange korean won into u.s. dollars without leaving a paper trail.
Posted by: dong resin on May 6, 2003 11:28 PMComing down, down on,
down on up to me, down on up to me.
Having said that...that's one lovely puppy! If my house was bigger than a shoebox, I'd meet you halfway 'twixt KY and NY. (Tiny, tiny house + insane neighbors + no fence = bad home for big fun puppies. :( )
Posted by: roe/metrocake on May 6, 2003 11:50 PMDo you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Tiz, if we could have a dog here, we already would. In fact as soon as we get a new fence put up, I may just have to get a wienerdog... cause those are some mean streets out there.
Posted by: tj on May 7, 2003 01:21 AMit's a low, it's a low,
it's a low down dirty shame.
it's a low, it's a low,
it's a low down dirty shame.
i'm crazy about a married woman,
and i'm scared to call her name.
Well, I'm walkin' down the highway
With my suitcase in my hand
Yes, I'm walkin' down the highway
With my suitcase in my hand
Lord, I really miss my baby
She's in some far-of land.
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go – Down Town
When you've got worries,all the noise and the hurry Seems to help, I know - Down Town
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares
So go downtown,
things'll be great when you're
Down Town - no finer place, for sure
Down Town - everything's waiting for you
JUNGLE BOOGIE (blah-de-blah, blah-de-blah)
JUNGLE BOO-GIE (blah-de-blah, blah-de-blah)
JUNGLE BOOGIE (blah-de-blah, blah-de-blah)
JUNGLE BOO-GIE (blah-de-blah, blah-de-blah)
Get up, get get get down
911 is a joke in your town
Get up get get get down
Late 911 wears the late crown.
tizzstress, I would love to take on the cute little guy but the people that run my apartment complex are fucking fascists and don't allow pets of any kind, not even fish!
Needless to say, when I go and tell them about my collection of an entire ant colony they don't seem to care. Bastards!
But if Dejah winds up taking the dog, we shall have a Dallas Monkey Meet-up. We could have four, yes FOUR whole monkeys!
Posted by: ufez on May 8, 2003 10:26 AMThat blue eyed girl
She said "no more"
That blue eyed girl
Became blue eyed whore
Down by the water
I took her hand
Just like my daughter
Won't see her again
Ring a-round the roses,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down!
Nothing like a little black plague nursery rhyme to fire up the day.
Posted by: witchstone on May 8, 2003 12:58 PMPoor Ufez! Not even a fish? That ain't right.
I am running out of monkeys to cajole! Lurkers, you need a dog, don't you? A really cool, tizzie-certified dog? As with all tizzie specials, your satisfaction is guaranteed!
Posted by: tizzie on May 8, 2003 02:03 PMRoto-Rooter
away goes trouble
down the drain...
Lupo, my sweetie, you get the one with the cherry on top! Mrrrow!
Posted by: tizzie on May 9, 2003 09:58 AMWe took the boy to his new home last night! Six acres out in the country, a nice German Shepherd friend next door, and a brand new hide chew bone. All is well - thanks for all your good wishes on his behalf!
