If...If...If...A Dog Story

Image
     So this little dog I found, a Shih-Tzu, was an adorable, happy little thing that moved into my house and my life like she had been there always.  She nosed the cats, ate what I fed her, and slept next to me for three nights.  Monday I took her to check and see if she had been chipped.  I was certain that such a valuable and good little dog had a microchip implant.      She did not.      I was able to place her at a no-kill shelter where the pretty girl at the desk assured me that such a dog would be adopted as soon as they put her up for it, which would be the 30th.  The male attendant placed a leash on her and started to lead her into the room where a hundred unseen dogs were barking.  I stopped them and petted her one last time.      "Good bye, Mopsie"  I said to her.  She wagged her tail as she was led away.      I was back in the car and starting to drive away when the enormity of the crime committed against this lovely animal hit me.  As soon as she becam

      I guess I am not the first guy to think about drawing athletic, violent, stuck-up bunnies with a civic conscience.  I found this on Cartoon Brew and it is something else. Weird, self-righteous, racist, dead wrong about what pushovers those Japs were gonna be and strange on every other level.  Outstanding anthro bunny!      Everybody's favorite psychotic gay rabbit.  Well, that was easy.  Now we gotta win the peace! Eh,...Whats up, Doug?
