Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, shrift!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Beagles are notorious for running off. I'd have chips AND tags. AND fib about it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Many happy returns, shrift!
I think I have time to take the (unchipped) dog for a walk before taking the kitten for her last vaccinations. He's trying to use Jedi ind tricks on me to make it happen.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Happy birthday, shrift!
Hi Nilly!
I have lots of onerous tasks, but I haven't decided whether or not to tackle any of them today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, shrift!
People, get OFF THE PHONE. I need to leave this stinky place before my next meeting.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have our dogs chipped, but we also have these on their collars: [link]
No jangling, cool-looking and they are guaranteed pretty much forever.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Leo supposedly has a chip, being as he came from the SPCA, but the vet scanned for it and found nothing, so maybe he doesn't have one. I'm not sure how they're supposed to work, really - if soneone finds him and takes him to a vet or the SPCA, then if he has a chip they can find me, but if he doesn't get found or the finder just keeps him, it doesn't help. I want to be able to *go find him*, not have to wait for some good samaritan to bring him back. (I have no faith in humanity.) I'd like to put a GPS chip in him so I can track him with my smartphone, but I don't think that's feasible.
ION, I want to buy a crockpot. Anyone have suggestions?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Well, Sparky, if he doesn't like tags and he doesn't keep the collar on then he doesn't have much room to gripe.
Darby came pre-chipped, but if she hadn't I think I would do it. Definitely need at least one or two of the three.
if he doesn't get found or the finder just keeps him, it doesn't help.
Well, nothing much helps then. But that's one reason for the collar, especially - it lets a finder know that there is someone out there looking for him. I can't imagine letting a dog around in the city without some kind of identifier. Cats I guess are a little different, since people don't assume that a loose, unmarked cat is necessarily a stray.
I suppose you could find some kind of remote alarm that you could attach to a collar, but he'd have to be in pretty close range, I'd guess.

Scrappy, thanks for that link, I am getting those for the cats and for the parentals' dog.
