HUMANS DID THIS TO ME

humorous-197_smallHumans continue their campaign of forcing exchanges of dignity for dog bones.

As Col. Kurtz explained in Apocalypse Now:

I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared.

    “Great quote, I’m hoping it doesn’t become the epitaph of the 44th President.”

    Well played. By the way, I just read the post about your double loss. Please accept my condolences.

  2. i haven’t put my doggie in a bunny costume…just a jersey or bandana now and then…

    though there was pet costume contests during the July 4th days in my little town but they stopped that a couple of years ago…

    “…“Heart of Darkness” should be mandatory reading for those seeking political office. …
    “There was something wanting in him—some small matter which, when the pressing need arose, could not be found under his magnificent eloquence. …”

    I rather thought this a fitting epitaph for the reign of the 43rd President of the United States–except the “magnificent eloquence” part, of course.

    “Now you have burst my bubble. No fried cheese grits for you, you yankee fellow.”

    Ok I’m a Atticus Finch and Willie Stark fan, too. Pass the mint julep –hold the mint.

  7. It may well be a prejudice of mine but I do wonder about the stability of pet owners who would do stuff like this to their pets. It’s like the opposite of Michael Vick, but somehow just as creepy.

    Kurtz is, perhaps, my favorite fictional character though I am partial to Thérèse Defarge as dedicated readers here know. “Heart of Darkness”

  10. Kurtz is, perhaps, my favorite fictional character though I am partial to Thérèse Defarge as dedicated readers here know. “Heart of Darkness” should be mandatory reading for those seeking political office. Joseph Conrad understood a thing or two about human nature unrestrained by societal conventions such as law:

    “There was something wanting in him—some small matter which, when the pressing need arose, could not be found under his magnificent eloquence. Whether he knew of this deficiency himself I can’t say. I think the knowledge came to him at last—only at the very last. But the wilderness found him out early, and had taken vengeance for the fantastic invasion. I think it had whispered to him things about himself which he did not know, things of which he had no conception till he took counsel with this great solitude—and the whisper had proved irresistibly fascinating. It echoed loudly within him because he was hollow at the core.”

    I rather thought this a fitting epitaph for the reign of the 43rd President of the United States–except the “magnificent eloquence” part, of course.
