Cute doggie! We found another stray today, but fortunately a friend of the owner was driving around and spotted her on our site. BEAUTIFUL young pewter female pit bull. Not well trained, but very affectionate. No chip, but at least they spayed her!
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Cereal: I know it was the right decision to let PB go, but I do feel like I dropkicked a puppy. He texted me after saying, "I thought I was doing better!" Well, you were, but not enough, and you weren't doing what we'd agreed you would. Also, later this afternoon, his coworkers showed me a picture of him SLEEPING in full Tyvek suit and respirator on a job site during work hours, in full view of the street!!! I mean, come ON. No one can think that's okay, right? Except maybe for ita !'s (ita's ! ?) former coworker.

{{{smonster}}} You did the right thing, but I'm sorry that it makes you feel bad.

He needed to learn the consequences. You did the right thing.

Right thing. Hard thing, but right thing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
We just had the most fantastic visit to the playground. While we walked around a miniature village, I saw something fall out of the roof of a covered bench. Turns out it was a potter wasp attacking a huntsman spider! (Here's a picture of the wasp: [link] Top pic is a pretty good representation, though our specimen was may a bit closer to yellow than orange.) It had just about subdued the spider (took longer than I expected for the venom to paralyse it) and was starting to drage it off when we had to go. I've seen this kind of behaviour many times on nature programs, of course, but this was the first time I'd witnessed it in person.
Ryan was pretty fascinated too, though ultimately less enthused than his daddy.

While I get how that would be fascinating, my hindbrain is shrieking right now. Aren't huntsman spiders huge? (I can't believe I'm asking that. DO NOT GIVE ME PICTURES OR LINKS. Just tell me yes or no.)

This wasn't a terribly large one, but still maybe 4 cm across with the legs extended. The wasp was bigger, getting towards 3 cm long I'd say. (Nonetheless, it would have certainly triggered an arachnophobe alert.)
