There are these people that live … hmm … maybe 4-5 houses down and they have this dog. A dog who they seem to completely ignore or they’re just trying tough-love on the thing. Either way, at around 1:30 last night they put their dog out (I dunno, I was sleeping). But then it must have seen a rabbit or something, so it started barking. 

What would you do if it’s late and your dog is barking outside? I’d bring it inside. These people? “Nah, let’s just let it bark outside for 20 minutes”. 

What’s it doing right now? It’s whining to get back inside. We’re at about 10 minutes at the moment of listening to a dog whine and yelp, occasionally scratching at their screen door. It’s so unbelievably irritating. I just want to obliterate that little beast of a dog, because after you hear its barking EVERY day — you begin to go a little crazy.

There’s also a cat. 
I don’t know who it belongs to but I swear I have wanted to run out of my house and punt this stupid thing because it has the loudest, most piercing, annoying meow ever. That means it wakes me up. The owners of this thing must be able to sleep through it or something, so it’ll walk around and meow for up to about half an hour, stop, repeat, stop, repeat.

(The dog is still whining outside, btw)

Don’t even get me started on the neighbour who thought it was a good idea to use an electric saw at 9am on a Sunday. Okay, that’s not ‘outrageous’ … but it’s a bit early … come on. 

(The dog is now barking at something)

People suck.

I took a 111 to Merivale and Viewmount last night, and while walking on the sidewalk — across from the Merivale arena I started a feral dog or a wolf or something. It seemed greyish and it had an unusually bushy tail (which after seeing this image confirms my suspicion). Aha, as soon as it saw me it freaked out and turned around. However, for a while it was walking parallel to me (it was a pretty considerable distance away) until it turned around and headed deeper into the field.  

My trek home was not complete without seeing 4 rabbits and an Owl that flew over me. The Owl was like the icing on the cake. FYI: you’ll be eaten by owls, wolves, and rabbits if you’re near Merivale at around 11:30.

My night:

*Go to sleep at 11:30*

*Our cat wakes me up to go outside at 2:30*

So we’ve got birds covered, raccoons, and squirrels. However, we were missing mice …

Indeed! There was a mouse in our house this morning. We can’t figure out if the cat brought it in, or if it got into the house. On one hand, it looks like it was quite the baby of a mouse, so it might’ve fit in the cat’s mouth easily … on the other hand … it might be young enough to assume that there is a mommy mouse in our basement. Ack.

I was looking through my old sketchbook for something, when I came across this beauty:

AHAHAHA. I remember printing that off … almost a year ago … or less. I don’t know, the sledgehammer of age has … sledged … me. Anyway, wouldn’t it be great if these things spat acid? I think anything that spits acid is great.

Anyway, I have upgraded WordPress to the latest and greatest version. You’ll notice that posting and uploading is every so slightly different, but in a good way! There is a spell-checking feature, which I totally expect to go unused, but it’s there if you want to use it! OH: If you give your post a title and start typing, it will auto-save. Yes. I know. Oh your god.

Oh yes. I’m guilty of this (because I’m omnipotent when it comes to Bloog matters) … but I’ve overhauled the categories, should you be interested. There were like … a lot … of them before. Now it’s reduced to BARELY using the scrollbar. It was so difficult to do that, especially since 755 posts are now categorized as “Whatever”. Yikes.
