I believe I am pretty fucking fond of my new puppy

[sharpestscalpel]

He ain't house-broke just yet but he'll learn. He's learning already - there's some smart behind those blue eyes.

Hell, I may just be all excited to have a new goddamn project; Jos always said I didn't have enough shitting ambition but she might just choke on that politician husband of hers's cock before I'm done with this one.

Maybe it's a goddamn sign because I sure as fuck ain't sat down to write fucking poetry since we split our ways.


The first fucking thing to know
is that I ain't a man for hope,
wishes on goddamn stars as we travel,
or sentimental gestures of flowers.

I ain't a man to be faithful,
long-suffering, or patient -
those were the qualities of a ghost
who passed through my childhood walls.

But the second thing, the second damn thing:
it is only this, that I will feed you
and house you as you burn down the world;
I will hold the matches as you strike the flame.

Puppy seems a bit camera shy, actually. Bit of an ugly mutt at the moment but it just needs some grub to put some shine back in its coat, I figure.

((OOC - That is probably the wisest course of action ever.))

Oh, how sweet. So many people just pick the cute ones, when so many of them just need a little extra love. I hope he perks up soon.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

That is a damn shame. I figure, you pick them up and fucking take some care, you got yourself a friend for goddamn life.

So to speak.

[headnursechapel.livejournal.com]

Oh, certainly. It's so rewarding, having a pet. Such unconditional love, and they ask for so little in return.

Is yours housetrained yet?

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

I suspect he's got a little boundary testing left in him yet. He'll learn, though. He ain't dumb.

[OOC - ILU both so fucking much, even if, perhaps, this shouldn't amuse me so.]

I'm sure he will. It's surprising how fast they pick things up.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

Patience and fucking consistency - that's the damn key, you know?

[headnursechapel.livejournal.com]

Well, that and a big bag of puppy treats.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got that base pretty well covered, too, I think.

You got pets?

[headnursechapel.livejournal.com]

Oh, no - well, not anymore. It's difficult on a starship, even when one isn't being transported across dimensions.

I used to have a cat, though, when I was a girl. An orange tabby named Blossom.

And a fish, but Bubbles wasn't nearly as much fun.

((OOC - I had to take a few moments to STOP LAUGHING.))

Fish don't make fucking sense to me. What's the point of a fucking fish, man?

[headnursechapel.livejournal.com]

I wondered the same thing, actually. But the cat certainly found her interesting.
