"until the one guy with the answers PROVIDES those answers, which I post. Seems worth a bravo rather than raspberries. Or, if you no longer care about the topic, silence. Instead, I get tarred with the same brush once applied to the guy with the answers ---- kill the messenger, much?" Yes, Jay. We no longer care about the questions, which you asked (we did not and good not give two s***s about), the answers, and most important, the guy with the "answers". This is pathetic. Josh Board no longer works for this publication, is no longer employed by the Reader, and you are in serious danger of aligning yourself with someone abhorrent, therefore rendering yourself persona non grata. This is an obvious attempt to garner attention to yourself using a nobody has-been who we all detested, and therefore bring attention to him as well. Despicable.— March 10, 2010 10:15 p.m.
Update: Beautiful Jessie has come home! And: What we learned about lost/found animals
Victoria, my heart goes out to you. Please continue to search for your precious Jessie. Check the lost and found ads in the paper. Post a lost pet ad. Put flyers in all the local vets offices. Sometimes, if someone has found a pet, they take it to the vet, and if there is a flyer, they realize the cat was someone's pet and not a stray. Ask local vets if anyone has brought a cat in recently matching Jessie's description. Call animal control and report her missing and give them her description. And please search at night. Cats, if spooked, will hide for weeks sometimes. Call her name, shake a canister of food. I'm sure you are doing these things, I just want to suggest everything possible. I hope you find your beautiful pet. I will let everyone I know who lives in the area to look for her and to call me if they see her. I may even go looking myself.— March 10, 2010 7:49 p.m.
Goodbye, Chelsea. Goodbye, Amber.
Quill, that was really, really nice. And sad. And good. Please just take our word that it is better without Pete. You would have eventually been the target of his sick self.— March 10, 2010 7:35 p.m.

Yes, nan, I was referring to anti coming home, but Tea on Chatsworth would be lovely. Need you ask? It was one of Pete's, I'm sure. Removed before it blistered your eyeballs and offended your senses.— March 10, 2010 7:22 p.m.

Found a Peanut
Most homeless pets are at first taken on out of love, but then, once the owners realize the value of being homeless with a pet, the pets become, as SD said, pimped out for money. OB is full of kids with puppies or kittens, using them to get handouts from people like me. Problem for them is, I wind up taking the animal.— March 9, 2010 9:33 p.m.
In Love With Lavidicus
Mindy, my mother has a pitbull named Dano. She was part of a rescue group that found him chained to a trailer, abandoned by the occupants who were using him as a guard dog to their meth lab. The intent was to have him destroyed, because the situation deemed him not capable of rehabilitation. When they freed him, he bolted across the road and was hit by a car, his hip and leg shattered. My mother took upon herself all of his medical bills and spent the following year nursing him back to health. At the time, he was so malnourished and covered with scars they estimated his age to be maybe eight or nine years. She has now had him for 11 years. He was probably only a couple years old when she found him. We love this dog with all of our hearts. He is the sweetest, purest soul I have ever encountered. He is getting old now, but he has no idea he is old, and for some reason or another, every animal in my mother's care lives to an old age. He reminds us all of Donkey from Shrek, because that is exactly how he stands. We never refer to him as a "pit", he is just a pet, a loved member of the family.— March 9, 2010 9:16 p.m.
Found a Peanut
We had a couple of kitten grifters in our parking lot at work last month. I got to know them pretty well, because I knew what they were up to and my concern for the animal overrode any sympathy toward them. They finally got run off by Von's management, but they cleaned up while they were there. I looked out my office window at one point and saw three women pulling out their wallets at the same time and donating what appeared to be at least two digit bills. Mmmm....that would be a good story.— March 9, 2010 7:23 p.m.

Anti, I think he is staff. And hot "staff", at that.— March 9, 2010 7:10 p.m.
Party Crasher Returns - elsewhere
Anti, Josh has taken the Party Crasher name on tour! Thanks for pointing that out. SD, it feels good to have this site back. I was run off, but am glad I came back. I am jonesing for your MIL blog - I have an astounding MIL comment I recently endured that I will share with you when you post it. So I am holding you to it! I'll bet that will be a winner.— March 9, 2010 6:54 p.m.
