So when your husband gets a little leaky, he'll want you to put him down, too?

For Fringey
 

My parents kept their leaky dog for many years. Old she was, and hit by a car, and incontinent, and smelly. Finally the decision was made to send her to her reward. Different people have different tolerance levels when it comes to canine excretions.

It was more of a deep, resonant "thump" than a "splat." Sheetrock often has more give in it than you would think.

For Fringey
 

Actually, yes.

For Fringey
 

I hear that "thump" on a regular basis due to hardwood floors and a puppy whose breaks don't work that well when she's chasing the squeeky moose.

I don't think the kitty was harmed. They are pretty resilient, especially the ones spry enough to grab onto something flying by that hard.

For Fringey
 

I understand people have different tolerance levels -- but I'm the one tolerating it. When there is/are excretion(s) to deal with, I am summoned with a petulant shout, and I clean it up.

It must be some sort of incontinence, poor thing. I wish there were some way to teach her Kegel exercises. Anybody have a video?

PS -- My girl isn't smelly!

My firm's Net Nanny restricted access to the site, so I can only presume that Ironweed is into some sicko shit involving sex and animals. Don't tell the boys at Rocky's, weed.

Interesting. Were these for the small window in the bathroom, or the big bay windows out front?

For Fringey
 

She who cleans the poo should have the final say. Were I to get a dog, which I am not, I would gladly trade my powers of life and death over the animal for a commitment by my SO to handle all excretions on a going-forward basis.

Before you call Dr. Kevorkian, can't you call the vet's office and ask them for some advice? Or maybe take the dog back in?

Poll
 

I know we've done the desert island music poll and the driving music poll before, but have we done the Top Five Albums poll? I was talking with friends about this over the weekend, and it was fairly interesting. The question is: What are your personal top five albums of all time?

They can be on the list because they took you in a different direction musically, because they are the albums that you most want to hear when you turn on your iPod, because you spent a year of your life just listening to those albums, whatever...

Here is my list (in no particular order):

Life's Rich Pageant, REM (introduced me to "college music" back in the day, which turned me into the cute alt-music chick NotBob would have been after in college)
The Final Cut, Pink Floyd (sebby might be the only one here that understands this pick)
Version 2.0, Garbage
OK Computer, Radiohead
Absolution, Muse (anyone who likes either Radiohead or classic Queen who has not listened to this album is missing out; good enough to make my top 5 even though it is a fairly recent release)

Honorable Mention if greatest hits albums were allowed:
Crowded House (I still listen to this on a weekly basis)

Ok, PLF, hit me with your obscure yet trendy mix of critically popular, yet non-mainstream stuff.

For every occassion
 

And that combination for you is dogshit and other unidentifiable doggy drips?

Your favorite albums suck it long and hard.

I'm just fucking with you.

But you do care what I think.
