when I hear the word Fido I reach for my gun

"I can touch it any time I like" is not something the Bou' ever likes to hear.

It's especially not something the Bou' likes to hear about someone's dead dog.

So I get that this is not a Californian story, I just ask why is the LATimes making this news? I can already see a sequel to Beverly Hills Chihuahua being made about how a talking rat wears a special vest made of magic chihuahua fur that allows it to talk.

Oh great, now I'm making the problem worse.

so there is some blame to go around

but it is worth noting that the stupid idea STARTED in california and spread elsewhere.

in celebration of the highest unemployment rate in a generation:
a pet only airlines.

The Bou' does want to point out that people will be going to hell for this, so it's not as bad as it looks.

it's true that the Bou' compulsively clicks on links

that feature pet CPR.

i think i look just like my pet torture contest

good idea san francisco: force people to make their pets look like they think they look themselves.

will someone please stop this?

pet masseuse???!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, I present Patti Moran, certified animal massage therapist.

Oh Jesus please someone kick California out of the United States already.

Some choice quotes:

"...I was helping to care for abused and neglected donkeys"

"I charge $40 an hour, but I also work for shorter periods depending on the animal's needs and attention span"

"I use a combination of Swedish massage, T-Touch, acupressure, myofascial release, and trigger point. I also offer information about proper nutrition and the use of herbs."

"Eventually animals go into this state where they are totally relaxed and they take me with them."

Oh Christ, just read the whole damned thing.

The comments are excellent: "I teach Acupressure for Animals in Berkeley at the Acupressure Institute"
