Grrr!

Crap crappity crapstick!   The freaking sump did NOT pass inspection this morning (even though we had it installed just a few months ago BY A PLUMBER WHO OUGHT TO KNOW WHAT "UP TO CODE" MEANS!!  *snarl*).  So now I need to get some electrical work done and it's just ONE more thing that's making me growly.

AND! 
Did you know that Siberian Huskies are apparently vicious killers?  Yes.  According to our insurance company, that is so.  They have a list of about 6 dog breeds that'll prevent you from getting homeowner's insurance and the Sibe is on the list...right between German Shepherds and Pit Bulls.

*sigh*  

So we are going to have to get homeowner's ins. from someone else besides Traveller's, which would have sucked because we get our car ins. from them and bundling different ins. policies should have saved us money.  HOWEVER!  Turns out we got a better quote on car & homeowner's from a different company so we'll just be going with someone else for all our insurance needs, thank you.  Buh-bye Travellers...don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

The funniest part is Kiba is absolutely the sweetest dog I've ever owned.  Really, he's a creampuff.  Loves children and strangers.  The only person he barks at is the mailman...and that's 'cause he's begging for a treat (the mailman always brings biscuits for him).  I just don't get it...he's the least aggressive, least territorial dog I've ever seen (which is true to breed standard...Siberians are just sweeties by nature).  S'funny.  *shrug*

Oh well!

To console myself this morning (because all these setbacks are character-building, don'tcha know) I have attempted to restore balance to the universe by paying off my Target card and filing my sales taxes early like a good girl.  Perhaps that will appease the perverse whim of whatever godlings I somehow pissed off, and they'll stop messing with me now.  Please.

German Shepherds had the misfortune of becoming a really popular breed in the 50's...probably had a lot to do with Rin-Tin-Tin, a famous German Shep used in movies. Anyway, they got so popular that breeding for brains became secondary ('cause the pups were sought after so just everyone was breeding them), and the breed became really unstable in North America. Lots of attacks, lots of aggression, and really terrible hip dysplasia. The European strains of the breed are still wonderful. Smallish, solid, and SO sweet and smart, but that breed type isn't popular here (everyone wants really BIG sheps), which is unfortunate.

Popularity is the kiss of death for the stability and integrity of any breed in the USA. Right now labradors are getting messed with and miniaturized so that they hardly resemble the hunting dogs they once were. It's a shame, really.
