Though I did see a chickfight over a treadmill once at the gym.

Indeed. Before joining my swanky gym I always found it an amusing pastime to try to distinguish the riff from the raff.

Equinox on Lex and 64th gets all the Scores girls around 2pm-4pm.
Would they be "riff" or "raff"?

4 weeks is pretty young to take kittens from the mama cat. Hope they are weaned.

And keep the kids from being rough with them so young.

But isn't hubby Mr. Mom? Shouldn't the kittens be his responsibility?

#4 If in circumstances of last resort you decide to post a listing on craigslist to give your pet away, consider the fact that 70% of those you get responses from will NOT BE with good intentions, even if they sound and look like the nicest and most trustworthy folks on the planet, they are professionals and know what unsuspecting owners want to see. Once they have your pet because you trusted them when they brought "their" 10 year old kid with them, your pet will very likely end up being used as live bait for dog fight training, or sold to labs for scientific experiments, and you will never know, you will just hope for the best and want to believe you did the right thing.
So think very carefully before even deciding to make that listing, you might just decide you should make every attempt possible to keep your pet with you after all even if it does soil that nice new carpet a few times a day, you are better of investing a few bucks and taking your pet to a pet behavior specialist which will almost always solve the problem behavior of your pet.

It depends. Was the "family" Vietnamese?

Where is this quoted from? I've also heard these rumors about the pets section on Craig's List but how could this 70% statistic be verified? Do you think the dogfight "adopters" participated in a follow-up survey?

I must be part of the 30% because I adopted my cat from Craig's List and he's a spoiled little beast.

In case anyone cares, I didn't buy him a water fountain. He likes to drink from my water glasses and not running water so I don't think a $40 fountain will distract him from doing that.

If for some unfathomable reason I had to get rid of one of the Displaced Dogs, I'd start by asking friends and family, but my last resort would be Puli Rescue, not craigslist.

There's a cover story on the Houston Press this week about an outfit around here that likes to throw dogs in rings for fights with wild pigs. I've refused to read the story. I don't want to know.

My sister has a Corgi fetish, but she can't really have a dog given her apartment in the Mission and her lifestyle, so she put an ad in the SF craigslist offering free dog walking services to Corgis. About a week later the owners of an 8 week old corgi contacted her, and she now hangs out with Tango about three hours a week.

SF . . . Mission . . . fetish . . .

What does "hang out" encompass?

Damn deviants in Northern California.

They'll think you're a friend, neighbor, teacher of their kid, whatever, that they didn't recognize at first. They'll stop cutting you off, or let you into their lane so you can get off an exit, whatever, and as you go by, you can either give them the "fooled ya" sign or...the finger. If they've already completed the bonehead maneuver they'll be all worried about who you are.
Whenever someone gives you the finger or sticks his/her head out of the window to yell at you, just point at him/her and laugh. It infuriates the already enraged. Good times.

Or give them pressed ham.

You could spit at the already closed window and let it roll down. I've heard of that one, too.
