Let Loose the Sailor – Barks and Bytes

October 29, 2015 By Jodi

First off, I want to announce the winner’s of our Rocky’s Rollers Rock Our World giveaway.

You may recall we shared that post a couple of weeks back and told you we would give away (actually it’s Jones Natural Chews who is giving it away) three bags of Rocky’s Rollers. I told you all I would announce the winners today, and low and behold I remembered to have the drawing. 🙂

So without further ado… I started with the first comment (via Facebook Plug IN) and asked for three numbers between 1 and 21. I was given 13, 16 and 21 and those winners are: Molly Pitcher, Sandy Weinstein and 2 Brown Dawgs! Congratulations, I’ll be contacting you via e-mail and will forward you information to the folks at Jones Natural Chews!

Thanks to all of you who entered.

Warning, she's preparing to loose her inner sailor.

Warning…rant and bad words ahead.

Siriusly WTF…

Really today’s post could have been a what the fuck post. My head is about to explode.

It started out with the photo on Facebook of a Great Dane “dressed up” as a horse, with a small child in costume on his back.

HIS BACK!

From the snap shot I felt the dog was uncomfortable and I shared it on my Facebook page with this caption, “This is wrong on so many levels. That someone thinks it’s okay to do this to their dog, that someone thinks it’s cute enough to share it. And when the dog bites the kid, the dog is the one at fault. Wake the fuck up people.”

I can’t share the picture here because the Facebook or Google police will get pissed off, but you can see it on my Facebook page.

Upon venturing to the original picture to read the comments (Why, oh why do I do that? Bangs head on desk) it only pissed me off more. The people who spoke up against it were told to “get a grip” “the kid only weighs 20 pounds” “It’s probably a staged photo, the kid didn’t actually RIDE the dog”.  So it may be that the photo was staged and no-one actually RODE the dog, STILL some fucking ignoramus will think it’s okay and do the same thing with horrific results.

I’m stating it right here and right now, if anyone tries to ride one of my dogs, I will knock them so hard in the mouth, they will give new meaning to the term, “Talking out your ass.”

How to introduce your kitten to your dogs.

Next, one of my friends shared this on Facebook.

To put this message in context, the question posed initially was how do I introduce my new kitten to my two Huskies?

How NOT to raise a kitten

You’ll notice I’ve added icons to cover the names as I wouldn’t want my friend to have someone pissed off at her. Mind you my friend is represented by the sweet little tiger icon.

Notice the lovely advice my friend gave? To supervise the interactions so the dog doesn’t get too rough.

See the response from the dragon lady. Yes, I gave her a fucking dragon for an icon because 1) that’s medieval advice and 2) what kind of evil woman lets her children do this to a kitten? What kind of sociopathic children will she have? And one day when her kid does something heinous, she will go, I wonder what happened? AND what did she do to her children to prepare THEM for the evils of this world?

No, it doesn’t get any better. We were hoping someone had schooled her on how horrible the idea was, but this was the next exchange.

How NOT to raise a kitten
Notice she’s still a dragon and notice the original poster has a “BAM” covering her name. That’s me, smacking her upside her stupid head for thinking this is a good idea.

Did you see that last bit? Yeah, she has a puppy now. God only knows what the dragon lady is doing to that sweet puppy.

Had enough? I had, but then….another friend shared a video on Facebook of a baby that looked to be about 12 to 15 months old sitting in front of a clearly pissed off cat. Queue the video, the baby takes its hand and smacks the cat upside its head and the cat, launches itself at the baby, knocking it over.

Now I ask you, what kind of fucking idiot sets their baby up for something like that? And the cat.?Now the baby is afraid of the cat and will do Dog only knows what and the cat is afraid of the baby.

One of my friends, friends wrote under the video “That’s so funny! I literally laughed out loud!” And I wrote back, “THAT isn’t funny at all. That’s horrible! WTF is wrong with people?” To which my friend acknowledged that while he thought it was funny, “Their parenting skills needed work.”

Dear Facebook, If you don’t stop showing me stuff from stupid people, I’m going to have to unfriend you.

End Rant.

Run Fast, Run Free Jeffie.

Our hearts are heavy and we send our love and sympathies to Sue and the crew over at The Talking Dogs Blog who are grieving over the loss of their precious Jeffie.
