Good day to all my fellow animal lovers! I have to admit I am absolutely whipped today. I committed the cardinal sin of starting a new book I’d downloaded last night after dinner. I have a strict rule that I don’t get to read new releases on a work night. If it’s a book I’ve been eagerly awaiting, I WILL NOT PUT IT DOWN. I preordered Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Born of Shadows. I should have just ignored the notification that it was available for download, but I didn’t. I didn’t get to bed until 3am and didn’t get my blog post written at all. The book, by the way, was great! I think I can tell you all the Darling rules without spoiling anything for you. So rather than a nice bit of Jersey rat versus goddess cat, you will get a short bit of rambling from me. I do promise more Dorri and Lex next week.
Today’s rambling is going to be about humans doing stooped things one might expect from animals. Take, for instance, this guy who pissed all over some cough drops because he couldn’t get his prescription filled. This is not how humans, even irrational ones, show passive-aggressive tendencies when told “no.” Humans throw things then threaten to sue. Canids and the occasional feline piss on things to show their displeasure. Humans also don’t generally consider barking at dogs protected free speech.
Of course, animals sometimes do odd, people like things, too. There appears to be a new species of shape shifter running around a small town in South Afica. It is seen mostly around a church, only at night, begins as a human and turns into a pig or a bat. Oh my, the puns that could be made with that! Don’t piss off the otters! There is apparently a river otter in Florida randomly attacking both humans and dogs. According to the Florida Department of wild life, this animal is using standard hunting techniques of predators taking down large prey and it “has no known identifying markings or tattoos.” Um… I didn’t know otters ever actually got tattoos or piercings.
So with that, I will bid you ado. Have a great week!

Rebecca, yeah, as humans we ain't the brightest species sometimes.
But, heck, with all the dependency/addiction on prescriptions drugs I'm hardly surprised. In fact, I'm surprised more such behavior doesn't go on.
And, I will admit to barking at canines. I have a strange talent for it. I've used it as a fun playing thing, and as a way to establish dominance in a tricky situation. Also, to scare away burglars.
Wow, a predator otter... that is weird. However, with all the crap in the water these days, maybe his hormones were supercharged???
Oh, sure. I've barked at dogs, too. But do you think it's protected free speech? The goofball in that story said he had a constitutional right to tease a police dog by barking at it while it was in the back of a police cruiser.
I also can't blame the otter. But tattoos? Why would an otter have them?
Maybe he's a punk otter?
Personally I like the other story about the giant sea otters terrorizing Hong Kong. Godzilla versus Ottrah!
I have also barked at dogs. Who hasn't? I don't know what I said, though. Was the guy swearing in canine? Was the police dog offended and did it press charges?
No idea if he was swearing but he did say the dog started it... That actually sounds like a fun bit for Talbot's Peak, don't it? Maybe the chief of police needs to make another apearance one of these days.
I assume on the Otter, they meant a tattoo used for tracking wild animals by various wildlife research groups???
Yeah, actually, it does sound fun for Talbot's Peak... an argument in canine...
No one is saying he can't bark at dogs, just that he cannot tease police dogs by barking at them. My daddy popped me upside the head as a child for teasing caged dogs animals that way.
As to the otter, I'm sure you are right, but that's not how my shape-shifter-obsessed brain read it. I was thinking Biker bunny had an obnoxios side-kick.
It is going to be very good! That poor old sheriff is going to really have some odd questions for poor Nick next week!
Something tells me the words "highly intoxicated" may have had more to do with Dog Boy's arrest than barking at a police dog.
LOL...knowing Nick, his answers will range from "I am not at liberty to speak of that, at this time." too "Woof!"
I agree, Pat..."Very highly intoxicated"
Omigod...a tattooed otter with a tongue piercing would so fit into the Talbot's Peak line up! :)
Drunk explains teasing the dog. It doesn't explain hiring a lawyer and sueing. That's as bad as the YouTube Foutain Lady sueing because security guards who spotted her walking into the fountain laughed at her. Is it noce? No. But it was funny and the only thing that she hurt was her pride.
The drunk dog converstionalist made headline news for being a dweeb and is now suing because his pride got hurt, too. Sueing isn't going to fix it. Laughing it off then paying attention will.
All I will say is, what on earth is wrong with people out there....OMG
Hi, Savannah, I second that. Although, given the current state of things, I'm surprised hyper craziness isn't going on.
My apologies, everyone, for previous comments. I have a big mouth, at times. And, I can't stand injustice of any kind. However, this is not the place for my concerns.
Deleted comments, that is.
Meh. We all get that way. I'll keep any future news stories firmly in the realm of sily.
