Vents: Random Acts of Venting!

Wonder if he had a bad experience with one or both when he was a puppy.

Nope. I've been with him since he was born! Mine were the first human hands to touch him. He was the only male pup out of a litter of 12. (The other male was still-born).

I went to the house he was born in every day (my buddy's) and my wife and I spent time with him until he was brought home.

He is SO smart, and I swear he understands what we say to him. He knows a binky from a bone, and while he is stubborn at times, he listens very well.

It frosts me to the core when I hear someone refer to a dog as a "dumb" animal because they are anything but dumb.

Yes! My dad raised American Spitz and German Shepard's  when I was growing up, so I have spent a lot of time around dogs myself. I love them and they are so smart. . .

I resisted getting another one when our dalmatian died a while back. But the moment Max was born I just felt connected to him. And I wasn't wrong!

See, that supports my contention that ALL dogs have excessively male traits, no matter the gender.

They seldom listen to exactly what is said.

They exhibit socially embarrassing behaviors constantly.

They are frequently preoccupied with the condition of their genitalia.

They are extremely stubborn.

They pee dang near everywhere (and don't see why anyone would be upset about that).

All ya gotta do is skritch 'em behind the ears and they'll roll over and expose themselves.

And we are just so cute that ya just gotta take one or more of us home with ya.

If they weren't so lovable they'd still be roaming in packs!

If I had a reliable pet sitter, I'd get another dog!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

I rest my case.

[Palehorse]

For the record, that's his "dead puppy"!

Crap. I guess I had better go give my watercraft a shakedown. It looks like I might be needing it to get to the store!

I gotta vent  The distributor where KFC gets their chicken ran out of wings. Right now, we've got Hot Wings on special. We had a sign on our door, stating we were temporarily out of Hot Wings. You would not believe how many irate customers I had, over not having those damn wings. I guess the world comes to a crashing halt, the sun no longer shines, the moon falls in to the ocean, and the earth spins off it's axis.  Life as we know it, no longer exists because KFC, is out of Hot Wings until tommorrow  . Jesum Crow!!!!  I understand being mildly upset about this, but this is NOTHING to have a stroke over. I get the brunt of it ,because I run the front counter. Today, a group of firefighters from our area, came in and pitched a royal fit because they couldn't get their precious Wings. They berated us, mocked us, and were all around assholes to us. Needless to say they walked out. I'm very glad they did, because if they hadn't, I would've went over the counter, and punched the ring leader. He was the worst ,and is a real prick.

Now, I'm not trying to insult anybody here, and this is just my experience, but every since 9/11, the firefighters in our area, act like they are gods.  I appreciate everything firefighters do,and 98% of them are good, but these guys really think they are hot shit on a silver platter, when all they are are cold turds on a paper plate.  There is NO reason in the world, to treat people like that.

hehe.  people can get worked up about some silly ass crap, that's for sure.  but come on, hot wings from the colonel.  if i could eat anything fried anymore, i'd prolly kill for that!

I just don't understand the mentality of someone who berates the server for the restaurant being out of something anyway I mean they aren't the ones who do the ordering and its not their fault if its a popular item and sells out.  I mean what are they supposed to do say "I'm sorry but you'll have to limit your purchase to half an order because someone else might want some too"?  Thats like getting irate with a convenience store cashier because of the gas prices....

  Ya know, food is all some people have .  I hope we get some in tommorrow, or the world may end. It would be the 2nd comming of the Colonel LMAO!!!!

You'd be surprised how bad it can get. I've been cussed at, screamed at,and one time a woman wanted a pot pie, and we had just sold the last one, and had some in the oven. she literally assaulted me with a $5 bill. She threw it at me, and it bounced off my chest, and landed on the counter. I took 2 steps back and said "Excuse me" real pissy like. She must have realized,, by the look on my face,that I might be going to jump the counter, and wail on her, and she apologized. I told her "Mam, I realize your frustration, and I'm sorry you can't have the pot pie,and I apologize that we don't have it, but you shouldn't do stuff like that because that wasn't very nice. I embarrassed her to no end.  I deal with shit like that all the time. If I had any other skills I would leave in a flash LMAO!!!!

I used to work in fast food so I know exactly what you're talking about.  It really gets old....
