OMG They Did It!!

It is now official, the Chicago Cubs are the NL Central Division Champions!! It was a bit scary for a while there; they had been winning 5-0 but gave up 4 runs mid-game; but they held on, and Kerry Wood shut the Cards down in the ninth for the win! I bet the fans up in Chicago are STILL in the streets celebrating, I only wish I could be there with them!!

I have no material for the DDOS tonight. I didn't see anything extra-idiotic today while out and about. I will say that I am upset about all the posts on Craigs List from people who just "have" to re-home their so-called "beloved" pets, for whatever reason. Here's a couple of good ones:

"Need to find a great INDOOR home for 2 Guinea Pigs. Come with cage, water bottle, food dish, extra food and bedding. All for FREE. Just want to find them a good home where they can get more attention. Email if you have any questions. Thank you. " TRANSLATION: I recently discovered that I have a social life and no longer want to handle my responsibilities to my pets.

"I have a 4 year old pure bred yellow lab female who needs to find a home, she is spayed and utd on shots. She was trained by the number one dog trainer in Idaho and Canada, she ran field trial for a short while. She is a ball of energy and needs more attention then what she is getting, she is crate and house trained. Loves to swim in the water. Shes great with kids, and all sizes of other dogs, horses, cows, and goats. She is a very sweet and loving dog. The rehoming fee is $100.00 and if your interested please email or call xxx-xxx-xxxx and my name is Ashley." TRANSLATION: We are just too lazy to properly care for a dog that loves us so very much.

"I have 4 Guinea Pigs I am Needing to Rehome. There are 3 Females, and 1 Soild White Male with Red eyes. 2 of the Females may be Breeded. They Needed to go All Togther. I have a Small Cage, 3 Water Bottles, Vim-c for there Water, 3 ioglos house, Hay, and also whatever Food I have left. They are in a Cage and get alone very well with each other. I am asking $75.00!!! Please e-mail with Any Questions u may have are Call xxx-xxx-xxxx Thanks so Much for Viewing my Ad!!!" TRANSLATION: I'm a kid as you can see from my poor grammar and spelling; and since I was too stupid to separate the boy from the girls, my parents are making me get rid of them before the girls all have the babies that they are most likely already pregnant with."

Needless to say, we need more RESPONSIBLE pet owners who are INTELLIGENT enough to do the research on the animals BEFORE bringing them home and deciding that they are not going to work out. I've even seen people re-homing pets because they do not match the new furniture....talk about a lame excuse!!
