The evolution of my feeding the squirrels in my backyard (and, I guess, neighbours' backyards) has grown to my naming them. All black squirrels ar named Pete; all grey squirrels are named Lana. Petes are very bold, willing to hang out at the door to wait for me; Lanas are stand-offish, waiting at least a minute after I throw the peanuts before they'll approach.
I just got off the phone with an intoxicated, excitable Beaner. He's gotta borrow the KILLvan for a couple days. Says it's urgent, and he's bringing a couple pissbuckets so he doesn't have to stop...not even for Border Security. Wants to know if the auxiliary fuel tank is filled and if the lead-shielded weapons bay impenetrable to police thermal scan is ready for duty. Says he'll bring back a trunk fill of La Fin du Monde cases with the higher Canadian-distribution alcohol content as thanks.

No weapons necessary. I just trap them in one of these, fill a recycling bin with water, and drop them in to drown.

While I don't have much else nice to say about the iron-fisted matriarch of a dynasty of GOP shitheads, this is one legacy of Babs Bush that is empirically Good™ and True™: https://www.click2houston.com/news/expl ... or-animals.

She was a fierce advocate for canine health, and for pushing a holistic "raising healthy dogs raises healthy owners" approach to canine health. It's no accident what explosion took place in construction of municipal dog parks post-1993, as well as community-supported spaying/neutering and vaccination programs, leash laws, and counterbalancing of new leash laws with more unleashed open spaces. Or that the spatial design of most modern dog parks strives to maximize socialization amongst both dogs and owners alike. A lot of that was taken right from the FAQ's and design guidelines the Babs Foundation blasted out to municipalities across the country on how to do those programs right.

Similar to the Harpers up here. He's a nasty prick to human beings, but he genuinely loves cats, and as PM he and his wife fostered homeless cats at the PM's residence.

Has anyone ever had a hamster? VH, Jr. is asking for one for his upcoming birthday. I think they are cute as hell, and this cage (below) looks super cool (after reading reviews of other cages, this seems to be the only one that's not a death trap). Any advice to offer?

When I was in elementary school, during summer holidays students volunteered to take care of various school animals. I took care of a hamster one or maybe two summers. I can't recall there being much to it. As long as they have a wheel and enough material to burrow in, they're fine. A friend of ours in grad school in NC had a hamster that she kept in the grad assistants' office. That little bastard was a gnawing machine, including everything non-metal in his/her cage. Winifred would buy neat little tubes and other exercise challenges and within a couple weeks they'd be shredded.

Yeah, that's what I hear. Evidently, they have really good chew toys out there. I just think they are really fucking cute. Especially the robo dwarf hamsters:

A former friend and his wife had a number of degus. Within a few years, they all developed cancer. Not sure if that's endemic to the species, but I'd be inclined to avoid them.

Now that I am reading up on them more, the Syrian hamsters are best for newbies.
