Two quick analogies about leftist thought processes

Posted on February 2, 2021February 5, 2021 by Bookworm

I realized today that there are two perfect analogies for leftists: Primitive doggy logic and mad monarch behavior. Let me explain…. We’ve been installing new vinyl flooring over the broken, ugly tiles in the bathroom. The process requires that, after placing the board in position, you get a large mallet and

Divine Labbies, Satanic Chihuahuas — A PSA

Posted on September 3, 2020 by Wolf Howling

A PSA explaining why people should only own Labrador Retrievers and never Chihuahuas. A break from all politics all the time for a public service announcement. Dogs are God’s gift to mankind. And while one can say that about most breeds, two in particular stand out. At the pinnacle of

[VIDEO] This dog video is one of the funniest I’ve seen

Posted on May 14, 2019May 17, 2019 by Bookworm

This video about a choking dog has a happy ending because its owner smartly saves it. It’s the other dog that you need to watch. I’m still laughing. [give_form id=”59195″]

When is it reasonable to put an old dog down?

Posted on September 30, 2018September 30, 2018 by Bookworm

Insights welcome as I decide whether it is reasonable and moral or unreasonable and immoral to put down an old dog based on some very specific facts. I’m grappling with a difficult decision at home and would like your insights into the matter. I will appreciate any politely phrased opinions

A Short Interlude

Links from around the ‘net. Ms. BWR is on a weekend away and will return early next week. Meanwhile, while the Bookworm is away, the Wolf will play. (picture H/T Ace of Spades Pet Thread) (More doggie fun here) Anyone getting the impression that perhaps the people teaching our young minds

[VIDEO] Apropos the link between dogs and their humans

Posted on January 6, 2015 by Bookworm

I wrote the other day at some length about the incredible link between dogs and humans. There are two things I want to say. The first is to publish in the body of my blog a comment from Lee, about dogs’ contribution to civilization: I read somewhere that the domestication

Obama’s “special” banquet halted when activists rescue main dish

Posted on April 25, 2012April 25, 2012 by Bookworm

I am so lying in the caption of this post. Nevertheless, it’s precisely what I thought when I saw a story saying that Chinese activists, using a social network, were able to stop a shipment of hundreds of dogs destined for the cook pot: Dogs destined to be slaughtered and

Obama has gone to the dogs — and eaten them

Posted on April 18, 2012April 18, 2012 by Bookworm

The debate about “which candidate treats dogs worse” inevitably descended into farce, with almost no intermediate steps. Putting aside the insanity of spinning a presidential campaign around decades’ old decisions about dogs, Americans are probably going to be sympathetic to putting a dog in a protected hutch on the roof

Is Leftism a personality disorder?

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Bookworm

The following italicized paragraph started out as an observation I made about some ardent liberals of my acquaintance, but I’ve since decided that it applies well to the politics of the Left and the Right or, more accurately, the statist versus the individualist: Conservatives find people to be a source

British police can’t even defend themselves against dogs

Posted on March 22, 2012March 22, 2012 by Bookworm

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding things here, but as I read this article, five British police officers got badly mauled by a single dog because none had a gun. It wasn’t until a SWAT team arrived that the attack ended. In America, the police are minutes away when seconds count. In England,

Even in defeat, Tim Tebow is an exemplary young man

Posted on January 18, 2012January 19, 2012 by Bookworm

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this here before, but my dog is perfect. Her perfection isn’t always obvious to the uninitiated. Those who don’t know what’s really important might think that, because she’s a mutt, she’s a little goofy looking. They may feel that her habit of slipping on
