I read this after reading Eaker’s post about the little dog with the chainsaw teeth.
So I’m seeing a pit mix that is full of brandy and cork.

Others get the credit on finding him.
But his response to me tells me that he and I clashed before somewhere.

Not really, he sounded like so many before him.
But I bet that the mods know who he is, so that is ‘in the bag’.

We were offline for a couple days, so I missed a bunch of stuff.
*sigh*
Trolls irritate me to no end.
That link to the neverending rooster I posted a couple days back?
That’s what trolls sound like to me.
