Biked over to my friend Jenna’s place to talk dog business and she’s a talker , like a real chatty Cathy which makes it much easier for me bc i get to interact less.
so I’m sitting on the steps, smoking, trying to take the impossible casual but hot perfect selfie when I hear her telling the customer service agent all the ways in which to improve their bulk premium pricing. This is typical of her - and I love it bc you cannot shut her up. I told her whoever she’s talking to is an idiot for their lazy responses to a client who seems to really care. As she tried to articulate the same thing in a different coat, I offhandedly mentioned the specific demographic of dog owners mentioned are people with disposable income so the company’s initial counter response was a moot point.
Now, Jenna is funny. she nodded her head eagerly at me in agreement and then, still on the phone, says to the agent “my friend just got here and she is a professional and agrees with me so this should make you reconsider your whole infrastructure.”
Lol a professional degenerate if anything !

As I was only half listening, it took me a few minutes to realize a bit of time had passed and she’s still talking to the same person, but now she’s advising on inventing a better pooper scooper product (something that company does not manufacture, make or sell).
I suggested a stronger but lighter industrial pooper scooper perhaps made with titanium
Our newest addition to our pack — 12 month male, all black German shepherd !
Name suggestions?
(We usually name our pets after interesting icons throughout history; I.e. Huey (Huey Long), Stokely (Stokely Carmichael), Rothko (Mark Rothko), Seven (Seven of Nine), Hudson (The River)
Thaumatropes are optical toys that were popular in the Victorian period. A round disk with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of twine. When twirled quickly between the fingers, the two pictures appear to blend into one demonstrating the principle of "persistence of vision" . Originally invented by an English physician, John Ayrton Paris in 1825.
I've been into making Victorian Thaumatropes as part of one of my art series projects. This is the first one.
Chatting' about my little Catahoula Leopard Dog puppy when he was just a few weeks old! My partner eventually made me change his name to Huey since Chakotay was too hard to for everyone to announce (unless you are also a fan of Voyager).
Because Catahoula dogs are the official state dog of Louisiana it seemed appropriate to re-name the little landshark Huey after Huey Long (a netizen beloved, (albeit a crooked gangster of a politician) governor of Louisiana back in the 1920s.
He will be reaching one years old come August. My Huey, not Huey Long (RIP)
Would you guys want to see more current video and photos of him?
