I understand your frustration.

It's happening all over.

I was in Barnes & Noble and no one could answer my questions about the Nook.
They gave me a brochure!

True Rant:

Last week the 'other' grandkids sent their Christmas wish......they want a Kinect console for the family present.....at $149 this is do-able.

I like to shop early, so I've spent all week looking online for it.......NO ONE HAS IT

Okay, microsoft, you can stop the advertising now....its worked, and of course, it will be the "I gotta have it" of the year, and impossible to find.

If you are going to do this.....couldn't you at least made plenty to go around?

Or could this be deliberate? Nah....they'd never do that, would they?

Get them underwear.

I used to ask for stuff.
Usually books.
All I ever got was underwear.
My sisters always ask me to be the one to get the "gotta have" stuff.
I get them underwear.
Sometimes even the right sex and size.

Spoiled little snots.

Waterland blog

"A person contacted by the Waterland Blog who works in dog rescue suggested, on background, that with increasingly tight budgets, layoffs and fewer officers on patrol, police departments are less inclined to spend extra time catching dogs running loose."

Any Dog can be scared into baring its teeth.

From the report it seems clear they had no idea what they were doing.

So it barked and ran at them, then backed off - and that constitutes a vicious attack with teeth? I can only guess the person has either never had any contact with dogs, or (and) is scared of them.

That also seems like a waste of police time and effort for what sounds like a dog that was either scared or nervous of the police (or the kids who were chasing it).

Very sad

I walk a Shih Tzu every day. Big mean dog.

One of the neighbors has a small boy, about 8. When he sees the Shih Tzu he starts running away and crying. Perhaps the cop is afraid of dogs. Something I'm sure he would hide during the police candidate selection process.

(Close, but not my dog.)

Unbelieveable!!!! What a complete waste, I hope there will be some sort of inquiry over this - there was no reason for it to happen!!! Kenny is right, it sounds like they had no idea what they were doing, and obviously didn't have much experience with dogs at all.

So they sent pictures to the animal control person who was off duty - yippee for them. How about a little more effort, of course then he would he wouldn't have been able to show how tough he was and save the city from this mean viscous animal.

Stupid, wasteful, ignorant, I-just-want-to-shoot-something, a$$hat.
