Hate the bastards.

You, the responsible pet owner, are trying to get the crap into a bag. The dog is trying to get as far away as possible. At some point, you drop the leash, and of course, the dog doesn't just stay there--especially when she sees a squirrel....

Was just looking at the page for the new Tiger Mountain exhibit at the Bronx Zoo.

It seems one of the tigers is named Alexis. Read their description of her:

"She is the most vocal of all the tigers, often "talking" to the keepers and the other tigers. She can also be moody - sometimes in the afternoons she gets grumpy and growls at her keepers or her mom, Norma. The keepers say she can act like a sulky teenager, but she still likes to play with toys, including a log that she uses as a face scratcher."

What a fittingly named animal, huh? :-) (Except I don't have a face scratcher. Or weigh 303 lbs.)
