We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What is wrong with people?

SRSLY!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Why would you do that to an animal? I don't get it.

Because people see their pets as an extension of themselves.

Or sometimes just as their property.

I don't endorse these notions, but I think that's the logic.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh for gods' sake. That is outrageous.

I can't even speak.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I totally view pets as property. Maybe it's the extension of self that I will never get. I just don't see a payoff--it's shanghaing them into something asinine, and unless you're weird like Steph's dog, I refuse to believe that any of them could possibly enjoy it, or even plain not care.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The tattooed cats ... that's creepy. And I imagine they had to sedate the cat to have it done. The ones of cats in S/M gear look like they've been photoshopped.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even the temporary tattoos -- what's the point?

re: spoilers--if a book is going in a direction that I'm leery of, I'll check the end to see if it resolves in a way that doesn't make me want to throw it against a wall. I'm willing to read through badness if there's a payoff I can appreciate in the end.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Poor Chloe, ruining the curve for other dogs.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My dog has tattoos. One in each ear, and a small one on her belly.

Of course, the ear tats are from when she was a working dog, and the belly tat is to indicate that she was spayed. So totally different.

I am going to get her numbers tattooed on me. Just not in green. Hers are green.
