Animal Antics

I'm starting to feel like a total loser. As usual, I have nothing exciting to report other than animal stories. It's quite sad really.

And update on Fred Slowskie: Yes, Marianne, he is the long lost son of Bill and Carolyn Slowskie of Comcast commercial fame.

He also made it safely to the rescue group without incident. He was very cute. And now he's actually safe too! yeah!

In other news, I'd like to report that it is, in fact, very trying to be a diva. I tried to take Chance out for a walk while talking on my cell phone. I gotta keep in touch with my peeps, ya know! So I'm walking the dog (rather, he's walking me) and I've got him on one of those retractable leashes...and to be perfectly honest, I have not been properly trained in the execution of walking and retracting and extending, and whatnot.

So we're walking around the park and and I'm chatting (hi Tracy!) and Chance TAKES OFF! Apparently he has spotted a squirrel. And I'm trying to hold my phone, keys, and retract RETRACT! But to no avail. Chance has chased the squirrel around the tree. and I'm yelling at him to stop. And then I realize, my dog is a f*ing cowboy! He has used his leash to lasso the squirrel...tying it to the tree. Luckily, after the poor little thing was pinned between the leash and the tree, Chance decided he wasn't that interested. I was able to unwind him and the squirrel darted up the tree.

I guess I'm just lucky I didn't top it off with a wardrobe malfunction!
