The Lost Dog Saga6

1-25 of 55

Carbs and memories

Just treated myself to a cheese bagel. Extra sharp white cheddar, to the extent that matters. Technically it's a toasted bagel with cheese, but you called it a cheese bagel, so that's how my brain decided to classify it. I haven't ha...

Taking in this abandoned dog may very well be the most eventful thing that's happened in my life, and despite the challenges involved, has mostly been rewarding. Two weeks ago we were strangers to each other, and now we're basically the onl...

I have no interest in digging up the hatchet, so I'll say this here

I never loved you

I wonder if this is how God feels

As much as I would love my two dogs to love each other the way I love each of them, they keep fighting over toys, space, and being the first to get my attention and affection. These dogs have been conditioned to having the world revolve around them, ...

A home for the abandoned

The owner of the dog I found finally contacted me a few nights ago. To make a long story short, she's out of state and will be so for the foreseeable future. She's had the dog in the care of her mother for the last number of months, but the...

It's been 3 days now and despite scouring through and posting on all the lost and found pet websites that pop up in the first page of search results, there's no sign that anybody is looking for this dog I found. I've driven around the ...

It's official, I'm never having kids

Having this dog in my house for the last day and a half has been exciting for all of us, but as the old adage goes, everything is better in moderation. This much constant excitement has been exhausting. And messy. When dogs get excited, they start dr...

Welp, found a lost dog

I just wanted to get high and watch a movie tonight, but when I took my dog out for her midnight bathroom break, this guy showed up. I thought I'd let them run around for a while thinking his owner was around the corner or something, but aft...

A veridical paradox

You're sad because you have no friends, and you have no friends because you're sad

The test results are back

And my dog's tumor was benign. Clean bill of health. No need to worry about cancer. Such a relief. I have no one to celebrate the good news with and since my dog has no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sharing with you all. Time to ce...

Living the dream

It's something you say whenever you waltz into another routine day of work, being forced by economic pressures to repeat the same tasks time and again until it's time to go home, a sort of temporary prison we're supposed to make peace ...

Making myself the fun police

Even though I'm almost certainly never going to have children, I would always keep an open mind and liked entertaining various 'what if' scenarios that I might find myself in as a parent. One of them was the dilemma of whether I should...

We're feeling creatures who think, not thinking creatures who feel

The weird things you think about after getting your dog high

She's currently zonked out of her mind while using me as a human couch, so neither of us are going anywhere. The commands to get off me are seemingly not registering to her all, or perhaps she's simply choosing to ignore it. Either way, I...

Feeling nothing and feeling empty are essentially the same thing

But one feels so much better than the other

An uncharacteristically pointless post about a man and his relationship with potatoes

Spending as much of my life working in kitchens as I have, there are two inevitable truths I've discovered. First, there are going to be a lot of immigrants in that line of work. Depending on the location of the kitchen and the type of cuisine i...

Little harbinger

Every so often I get mail from my glasses vendor soliciting me to buy another pair, and my response to that each time is a predictable 'maybe in a few months'. I've never really been enthusiastic about change and tend to believe that i...

I'm your huckleberry

Even though it's now been 3 weeks since my COVID symptoms cleared up, my lungs still haven't recovered as I find myself coughing up phlegm several times a day. On TV and in movies, when people are hawking loogies, it's to make them see...

This is monumentally stupid and insignificant, but

For some odd reason, it kinda bothers me that one of my stories is at exactly 69 views. The internet has ruined me. Every time I come across that number, there's a stupid little juvenile voice in my head going, "Hurr durr. 69. He he he. Nic...

In retrospect, I'm actually kinda glad I never really made friends here

It seems to me that the users of SW don't actually do much with their lives. No matter what hour of the day or time of the week I log on, it's basically the same users over and over, and they're usually posting the same type of content...

I love my dog more than anything

I've been in quarantine for the last few days, so I figured I'd take advantage of the time off work to rearrange my room. Trying to get in shape at some point in my life, so making a little space to work out is imperative. Living the bache...

The boundless mysteries of the universe

As someone that's naturally quite skeptical and growing more cynical each year, I've long dismissed the idea that life is trying to send me messages or guide me in any direction. I've often seen the cruelty of fate and the unforgiving ...

My dog finally recognized her reflection in the mirror

I've tried on many occasions over the years to see how she would react to her own reflection, but she never really took to it. I think she was too distracted by my efforts to realize what I was pointing to, so her focus always stayed on me durin...

I used to see the good in people

I haven't completely lost the ability, but it's much harder for me to acknowledge or even notice the positive attributes people bring to the table. I'm not quite a misanthrope yet. I don't think everyone is an unwaveringly though...

What would you do if you were the last person on Earth?

Lately I've been entertaining the fantasy of what I would do if I were the last person alive on Earth. Ridiculous premise, I know, but something about that specific scenario has had me doing all kinds of funky research and imagining just how I ...
