Now your moment of insensitivity

featherynscaleNote: Despite what I am about to say, I love dogs. Mostly all dogs, even small yippy dogs that attack your ankles for no reason other than sheer doggie spite, and giant drooly dogs that insist upon licking you in the face and nearly drowning you.
*BUT*
I hate it when people refer to their dogs as "furbabies" or "furchildren". They are dogs. They are not midgets in fuzzy suits. Midget in fuzzy suit = Ewok, and I think we all know the difference there, which is spears and other primitive weaponry.
Which brings me to my next point: The Rainbow Bridge. While I appreciate the impulse to assign your pet a happy afterlife, seriously, kids, that one's taken. Every time I hear about the doggies and kitties going to the Rainbow Bridge, I think of Heimdall, up there, chasing your dead shih tzu away from the foot of Bifrost, where she's just piddled and washed some of the color off. Yep. Heimdall the Guardian, riding herd over a billion pampered and inbred showdogs, while the giants chip away. Showdogs = Ragnarok. I've always said so.

Date: 2004-10-12 09:31 am (UTC)As far as being a dog owner/lover/spoiler my main rule for dogs is they are not alpha to any person in my house, how they rank themselves with other dogs I care not but they are omega as far as people go. When they are dead...well let's just say I plan my funneral expenses to be enough for some firewood and the dog is still omega in death.
