Here’s some blog reading to kick off the weekend.
- Kennel Statistics at BARC (Bears Hope)
Euthanized (dogs only)
April: 730
May: 950
June: 9233 month total = 2,603
Average for 3 months = 867.66. At that rate, the number of dogs euthanized would total 10,411.99 for the year.Shame.

UPDATE: We left this very special one out, due to technical difficulties:
- When a woman quits (MeMo)
In part this is because when Sarah Palin goes out and talks, I’m always riveted by Piper, the second-littlest second-generation Palin, who is always doing something much more interesting. She’s the one who famously licked her hand and flattened out her little brother’s hair at the GOP convention. Friday, Piper was fussing with her orange-and-pink sundress, swinging it back and forth like a classically bored kid, a position with which I heartily concurred.
I predict great things for Piper.
Maybe, in fact, as a grownup she will take part in meetings where the Caucasian males who run things actually do take the advice of the bored doodler about how to keep running the whole damn enterprise into the ground. We hope that lashing out at others won’t be HER response to the related cognitive dissonance.
