…Actually, the dog ate everybody’s homework. My wife and I went grocery shopping and when we got home I found this on my living room floor:
Now I’m going to have to write my own tests.
Damn dog. Why do I buy her all those chew toys again?

Jaybird and I are in agreement that:
“Wow, cats might pee on stuff all the time, but at least they never do that!”Report
Yeah, too busy sharpening their claws on the formerly valuable furniture.Report
@ck-macleod We don’t believe in valuable furniture, other than sentimental value. For example, we still have the same couch/loveseat set that Jay’s had since he was a kid (it’s been reupholstered once and is probably going to experience that again in the coming year. Also restuffed because ow.)
Shabby chic just looks *better* when it’s got cat holes / shreds / etc.Report
Ouch. I hope she didn’t swallow any of those shards.Report
On the bright side, at least your dog didn’t blow up your house…Report
…or embezzle your funds, shift them to off-shore accounts, steal your identities and move to Belize. That would really suck.Report
March,
Ah, but I have news reports on this bad dog:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/bad-puppy-chews-hole-spray-blows-owner-house-article-1.1575426Report
Right, I assumed as much… that’s why the rest of us put links in our wacky comments.Report
I’m pretty sure most people around here assume I’m lying, most of the time…Report
For those of us who don’t, its the agony of unkowing that hurts.Report
I never lie here. That’s what makes it fun.
The truth is so much more unbelievable than fiction, anyhow.
To quote a segment of my life (not me speaking): “My imaginary friends will not be showing up to court to testify on anything.” (they’re being subpoenaed as expert witnesses, again).
(and I suppose I’ll try and give you more links, then. Not that I get all my news from publically available sources)Report
And I remember when CDs came out, the big selling point was that they would never scratch or deteriorate like vinyl.
Practically indestructible, those things are.
Last forever.Report
