Monster Dog

The wife occasionally rescues Corgis who have found themselves homeless for one reason or the other. I am proud of her for the work and effort she puts into this, as she has successfully found good homes for a dozen or so dogs who might have otherwise been destroyed.

Now...a typical Corgi will stand about 10 inches and weigh in around 20-25 pounds. Imagine my shock when I first laid eyes on the Dogstrosity she brought home last week. His name is Winston, he is a really nice looking and friendly dog. But, at 52pounds, he walks the line between dog and pot belly pig.

As the wife has begun the process of finding him a home, I have suggested we find Sasquatch. I think it would be a great companion for him.

I threw in a photo of Katie for comparison purposes.

Change We Can Believe In

Couple of weeks ago, I went to Josie's for breakfast burritos. Simple enough order...one sausage, egg and potato for the wife and two sausage potato and cheese for me, and a bag of chips and queso. Picked up the order, noticed the price was a little high, but you know...what with the price of gas and all. Got home and discovered a bag filled with carne guisada and bean burritos and a tub of Menudo. But hey, they did remember the chips and queso. Took it back, and was asked if I had called the right store. Made them get out the phone book, and showed them the number I had called. They acknowledged I had called the right place, but the only order they had for someone with my name was the bag of crap I had picked up. They asked me what I had ordered, and I informed them it sure wasn't an order for dead pig feet floating in grease as they had presented to me. After a few more minutes of arguing whether I knew what I had ordered, they sent me on my way. (I had to do the math for them for the refund they owed me). Got home with my three burritos, only to find they had given me three sausage, egg and potato burritos instead of what I had actually ordered. Screw it, said I, and commenced to eating what I could.

Yesterday, I went to Wendy's to grab lunch. Couldn't get in the drive thru, so I went inside. Great, only one person in line. Ordered a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, Caesar Side Salad and small fries for the wife, and a Baconator combo for myself. Then I waited as they waited on several people, and proceeded to provide food for the same people, as I waited. While waiting, two different people returned to the counter with food that differed from what they had ordered and one guy came in from the drive thru to announce he had been waiting 15 minutes for his order to come out.

Should have known bad things would happen. Turns out, one of the people who was returning a wrong order was actually returning my Baconator. They apologized and told me it would be out soon. They finally bring it out, and I grab my food and head for the house. Get home to find the wife's order was right (Thank God), but instead of a Baconator, I have a Wendy's single. You guessed it...the guy who returned my burger had actually ordered a single. Scraped off the vegetables, wolfed it down and went back to work.

I have a solution. Put these dipshits to work at the IRS (I'll never worry about an audit again), and put all of the laid off auto workers in the fast food restaurants. Sure, food may cost more, but at least these guys would know how to put shit together.
