cool blue reason wraps around my throat

So last night, Shannon and I realized that while we thought our neighbors had moved out this weekend, we both saw their dog yesterday. We went to investigate further and it would appear that they did move out and the jerks left their puppy on the screened-in-porch. The dog is, we believe, under six months old and he is a pit mix. He's really sweet and really skinny. So we gave him some food and water and talked to him and Shannon was going to feed him again this morning. We are trying to find someone who wants him, rather than taking him to the Humane Society. We both got all riled up about the situation, and then more so when we realized how skinny he is. We saw the dog outside a lot before, but he wouldn't ever come near us because he was scared of Kazoo.

One more thing. We were watching the returns last night and CNN kept "projecting" that so and so won such and such state. Which, like, fine. But they were projecting when only one percent of the returns were in! Really, CNN? One percent? That is ridiculous. Shut up, Wolf Blitzer. Get back to me when you have more than one percent. Also, how surprising were the GOP results? Insanity. Anyway, I have work to do.

The people next door to us leave the dog outside in a pen with no roof. They clean it out every couple of weeks. The poor dog has been in there in all the storms and the freezing rain and everything. But I'm afraid the Humane Society would be worse.

What is the point of even having a pet if you are going to treat it like that? The fun is in the interacting. I think they at least get walked at the Humane Society.

Indeed, they do get walked at the Humane Society. They are also provided shelter and food, as well as a lot of interaction with the volunteers and visitors. It's not a terrible existence, if you think about it, though belonging to one person or family is a lot better.
