Yea, but what do we do with the puppies?
By beating up these kids, we will send a strong message that you should spay and neuter your pets.
Pressed puppy is a delicacy in parts of France, and puppy-pressers inspired by the hand-crafted originals in Anjou are now available from Williams and Sonoma.
At some restaurants in New York, they press the puppy right at your table before searing it over an open flame with a selection of herbs and artisanal sea salts.
We should crush the puppies' testicles to teach the kids a lesson.
My wife, who is obsessed by the idea of owning a beagle puppy, cannot see this image ....
Pressed puppy done right is a treat, but it is on the rich side. When I'm in the mood for lighter fare, kitten sashimi hits the spot. N.B., some cheaper places don't use true bonsai kittens, so ask before you order.
10: Beagles are annoying dogs, actually. They're super cute, but kinda stubborn and prone to run off.
10, 13. Beagles are also really really good at baying as opposed to barking. Right at the top of annoying dog sounds.

Very, very true, IME.
I was going to say about beagles. Loud and stubborn and hard to train. Cute, but not happy pets unless you've got a very very outdoor lifestyle.
Good point. Plus, it's really hard to fit a dog in your purse for a convenient snack. Fuckers keep barking.
shivbunny says we can't get a dog, but that I can have a baby instead. I think he's missing the point.
Heh. We got a dog first, because Buck figured if we had kids first, we wouldn't get the dog.
No, no, no. Babies can't be put to sleep.
22. Too true. That 2 am feeding thing really should be in the manner of Swift's modest proposal. That I could get behind.
Puppies!
Those kids have way more than their share.
Beagle puppies are the cutest!
And ixnay on the beagle-hating! Just because they have minds of their own, instead of being subservient little noodle-dogs ...
My ex-girlfriend used to cite a study that golden retrievers were smarter than beagles, based on the retrievers' obedience skills. I objected that doing stupid tricks for humans was not necessarily a mark of intelligence. In retrospect, the equation of "intelligence" w/ "obedience" was one of several warning signs in that relationship.
I am rendered speechless by adorable puppies. Yes, we should train them to beat up the kids and then we should give the puppies snacks to reward them, or whatever, I don't know. Words dissolve on the page before me as the cuteness strangles my brain.
25: Cats have minds of their own, too, and they're not likely to run away or chew your shoes.
28: They'll run away quick enough if they find a better food bowl down the street.
You know, this post is totally going to get used out-of-context by some wingnut. I was tempted to do it myself right now, just by way of giving them a heads-up.
... and then they'll find out it devolved into another discussion of housepets and curse the moon.
And then we will have trolls who will bring us cake! Cake for the very face of the left.
Bring it, bitches. I'm grading.
If Cala is the very face of the left, of what are those kids & puppies the very face?
I'm thinking "terrorism," but I'm not sure.
of what are those kids & puppies the very face?
Godless communist brutality.
28: They might, however, throw up on your shoes. If I find one more hidden stash of cat barf...
I had a beagle-border collie mix, and it was the most untrainable dog I've ever owned. She was smart enough to foil any attempts at containment, but dumb enough to believe that I'd be waiting at the door with a warm supper when she deigned to finally come home. (okay, she was right about that. but I was still really really mad, damnit!) The speed of a border collie + the stubborn-ness of a beagle = very unhappy owner (now former owner, praise Jeebus)
Short version: those beagle puppies are deceptively cute. Don't let them fool you. They are seven little packages of evil. An axis, even.
[Insert any breed here] are annoying dogs, actually.

Words of wisdom.
I like labrador and golden retriever puppies best. I'm not as fond of hound-type dogs. They don't play fetch as easily, and they'll run away from you if they smell something.
I've also found that they're really difficult w/r/t eating your food. A beagle will find your candy, eat it and puke. Labs love to eat, but the ones I've known haven't gone for obviously non-dog stuff.
