Pokemon shmokemon!
I've just come back from the park where I went for a stroll with the dogs. Very sunny but with a cool breeze blowing and birds tweeting away for all they were worth. Almost made me glad to be alive.

And I get to go again after work. Woo!

Anybody jealous?...................anyone?

I imagine the only person jealous would be one that cannot walk.

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:33, Reply)

Or someone who's locked up.

( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:44, Reply)

Or agoraphobic.

If they wanted to go outside they'd stop being cunts and just go.

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:50, Reply)

Erm!
I used to suffer with agoraphobia for a while.
( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:51, Reply)

And look at you now! You stopped being a cunt and went outside.
Amazing innit
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:52, Reply)

Yeah! I guess you're right.

( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:53, Reply)

Well, you went outside at least.

I would be
if it were not for the fact that I burned myself to an interestingly crispy cinder yesterday and was barely able to even sit in direct sun just now when we had lunch on the grass outside. All I want to do today is curl up in bed and whimper.

Oh, nasty!
Sunburn is never a good thing. Even if there is a small payoff when you get to peel the outside of your skin off in a few days.

( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:45, Reply)

Nah
I'm quite lucky - I've gone mega pink, but it'll go brown rather than peel. I do look like I've been run over with some kind of zebra-crossing device though, I'm all pink/pasty stripes.
(berk, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:46, Reply)

I go very pink
then it all peels off and I'm back to brilliant white again.

After several iterations, I eventually turn vaguely off-white.

It's not worth the pain and possible future consequences just to turn my skin a slightly different colour. I prefer to remain pale and interesting dull.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:57, Reply)

I am.
I like parks and I love dogs.
I'm cooped up inside for the next two weeks with revision.

Then take the scenic route back
Then attempt to cook paella

Not jealous
I prefer cats. But you can't really take them for a walk in the park. Not without them running away and chasing birds, mice, dogs etc.

I've been out for my lunchtime constitutional too. Not that warm today, which is a pity.

my sister tries to walk her ferret
but they just go wherever they want, regardless of where you want to go. And people stare. Someone even once said "that dog looks weird".
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:46, Reply)

Oh my god
I want to walk a ferret.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:48, Reply)

That's what I was like the first time
but after you've been dragged into a bush by a weasel because it wants to go in a rabbit hole, it's a lot less endearing.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:51, Reply)

How fucking big is your ferret?

*not a euphamism*
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:51, Reply)

you kind of have to go where it goes
because if you don't it gets a right nark on and then refuses to move. Or if it's in a really bad mood it'll wriggle out of its harness and fuck off without you.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:53, Reply)

"Kitty O'Hara - wiggling out of her harness and fucking off"?

I saw two cats on leads yesterday
they were stalking a pigeon
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:48, Reply)

I saw a bunny on a lead once
cats always look pissed off to be on a lead.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:56, Reply)

When you say lead
do you mean that they were tipped off about the pigeon's whereabouts?

Agrees.

( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 14:00, Reply)

Not really.
Doing nothing today, then get a free meal. I don't like dogs really.

I'm glad you're alive.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:38, Reply)

what sort of dogs were they? and What sort of speed were you walking?
Did any animals look at you disrespectfully?
( Donkey Gums @mattcomedy, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:41, Reply)

Insanely jealous.
My dog attacks any other dogs he sees, so I can't go anywhere near a park. (Just for the ahhs! - he was a rescued dog, probably bred for the pit, but too useless, so abandoned. He is useless because his 'attacks' are always Bark-Nip-Roll over. Also he fawns like a - well, fawn - on humans.)
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Mon 24 May 2010, 13:45, Reply)

my dog runs away from all other dogs, even if they are an eighth of her size
the problem is, because she's a whippet, when she runs away she runs really far away, really fucking fast.

I'm not harpooning my whippet!

I think that may be absolutely the best euphemism I've ever heard, ever.

We go chasing squirrels in the woods that surround the park.
Not that we ever catch any.
( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:49, Reply)

Ain't it great when the dogs stand under the tree
barking what they imagine is squirrel for "Come down I just want to play"? And the squirrels chatter back what they think is dog for "Fuck off - do you think I'm nuts?"
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Mon 24 May 2010, 13:53, Reply)

It's funny as fuck.
They bark and try to climb the damn tree. Ever seen a Jack Russell trying to climb a tree. Hilarious!
( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 13:55, Reply)

Then there's the cocky pimp strut as they walk off,
with that "Did you see me piss on that tree - that squirrel is fucked now" look.

Mememememememememememe!
Although I did seven and a half miles yesterday, almost fifteen in total this week, I really feel like going out again this evening and enjoying this weather. The fewer dogs the better though, the needy smelly cunts.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Mon 24 May 2010, 14:03, Reply)

Yeah! but these dogs are like other people's kids.
I can give them back when I get bored.
( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 14:16, Reply)

I quite like dogs for all of about two minutes
then I'm more than happy to give them back.
