Properties

This blog post kicks off a new category for me. It's the properties category.

Right now the rental properties thatI have something to do with consist of a 3 bedroom house and a three bedroom apartment and I've have been and will be doing nothing but taking care of them since the begining of the month. I'm super tired, and even when I do have time to enjoy my self I end up too tired to do to much. (Had some friends over last night and I feel a sleep 1/2 way through Zombieland of all films).

I have a new roommate as of tomorrow, the downstairs tenants are out today and I have a new tenant on Sanders in the house. The house people seem nice a small family with no pets, a four year old an a new baby on the way, my roomie is a buddy and we have a bunch in common which can be both nice and claustrophobic depending on how you do it, but we're planning on have 2 separate living rooms so we shouldn't need to worry about butting heads, and I have to speed rent the downstairs unit out before it too long, but there's a ton of intrest and I might be able to get someone in there before the 15th of September.

I've been doing far less with my nights and days since this month started, I can not wait for it to be over and for all the things in transition to be done with. At least for another year.

Wish me luck peeps.

Puppies in the river

Ok. This link is not for the weak willed.

It's actually quite disturbing, hence the category, but I imagine that this kind of thing goes on all the time, not every puppy can be loved. The girl is perdy cute (she has some kind of Euro accent too) Still... to see it happening, well... Here you go:

I think it changed me in many ways - some of them not so great. Some of the patients and their histories still occasionally crawl through my nightmares. :/

jenks writes at 07:37:04 09/01/10 - Comment #58192: Ok I haven't watched the video, but I get the gist.
Two words:
SPAY/NEUTER

no one wants to see puppies killed.
But no one wants packs of wild dogs either.
Shelters are always full, and tons of dogs get put down every day. And cats. We just don't see videos of it.
sad.

But like tiny said- it's 'just' animals. Don't get me wrong- it's awful.
But I just started reading the book 'Half the Sky' about "women's issues" around the world...
It's been sitting on my nightstand for months because I figured it was some feminist agenda thing and I thought it would be all feminazi and/or boring...

But wow. It's not. It's eye-opening and horrifying.
routine abortion of girl babies, systematic rape and torture, human trafficking and forced prostitution... entire hospitals dedicated to care of fistulas (where urine and feces just dribble uncontrollably out of the vagina)- due either to violent rape (often with guns or sticks) or from a baby getting stuck when a raped 12 year old's pelvis isn't big enough to deliver...

Anyway. Sorry for the hijack.
I agree that killing puppies is awful.
But wow I'm a little horrified to know how much other bad stuff is out there.

tinypliny writes at 03:25:42 09/01/10 - Comment #58186: I am not sure I should be saying this but I will go ahead and say it anyway. I am not so much disturbed by the video as I am by all the reaction this is provoking and the direction of that reaction. We calmly watch humans treated worse in war torn zones and prisoner camps, people dying just because they don't have health care or food or both, cold calculated mass homicides, violence against women and children all over the world and yet do little to denounce the perpetrators. But this unfortunate girl, whose life we are completely ignorant about, whose motivations to drown those puppies we obviously don't know, whose actions are clearly being taken out of context, suddenly invites the wrath of a lynch mob.

To answer my own question, an informative and revealing article about how they euthanise puppies at shelters: :::link:::

paul writes at 01:45:12 09/01/10 - Comment #58185: Her name and address are all over the internet now. Looks like she is from Germany. I love how all the people were saying its understandable because she is probably from a "third world" country. Who still thinks there are "third world" countries in Europe?

I kind of wonder what kind of crazy global vigilante justice will come out of it. If I was her, or her parents, I would go into hiding.

paul writes at 12:33:07 09/01/10 - Comment #58184: Really its not too different from what happens when they don't get adopted at the SPCA.

samathon86 writes at 10:17:48 08/31/10 - Comment #58183: coz you guys had to see the puppy throwing video, here's something that might cheer you guys up : :::link::: :)

samathon86 writes at 10:08:46 08/31/10 - Comment #58182: so fucked up!

tinypliny writes at 08:03:23 08/31/10 - Comment #58180: I am just wondering, how does one euthanise puppies?

leetee writes at 07:36:35 08/31/10 - Comment #58178: i couldn't watch the whole thing. this fucking asshole of a human being is evil and someone should do this to her. if the puppies needed to be killed, there were kinder more humane ways to achieve that task. my faith in humanity is shredded....

tinypliny writes at 05:38:51 08/31/10 - Comment #58172: Maybe they were diseased or rabid? I know. Not a very good justification for chucking them into the river, but animal health-care can get pretty expensive for 7+ puppies, not to mention the health hazard to the humans around them.

At the risk of sounding extremely nasty and devoid of humanity, I wish they did something like this for the massively out-of-control stray dog problem in Delhi. We were sick of seeing little kids in the ER mauled or bitten by the random dog packs that should have been culled in the first place.
