Zippy should bite that bumpersticker dude on the butt. Might make her feel better!

Well wishes to Zippy and for your daily dose of reader-submitted patriarchy to blame here’s a photo collection from Radar Magazine about Japanese theme brothels.

Twisty- one of our dogs had that condition when she was an old girl. It was distressing to witness, and required intervention… but with a little medicine, TLC and time, she recovered.

Best to you both!

Aww, Zippy, I’ve felt the same way in the back of a van on a ride down Mt. Tamalpais, and if there’s something more miserable, I don’t wanna know. I’m hoping it will pass off quickly, but I’m happy to hear it isn’t anything more serious.

Delurking to say how great to hear Zippy’s good news.

I have a 17 year old Australian Shepherd mix who presented the same way. Assuming it was a stroke, and having promised to never put her through “all that” because I couldn’t let go, I took her to the vet to have her euthanized. Luckily, the vet was very familiar with the disease, common especially in geriatric dogs, and talked me into giving her 48 hours…

Needless to say, there was slight improvement that continued. She’s now about 98% of her old self (still gets a bit addled now and again), and I’m very grateful to my vet.

I figure since she’s 17, I only have about 10 good years left with her as it is. ;-)

Best to both of you.

So…I suppose a bumper sticker that said “keep being a sexist, woman-hating asshole, I’m reloading” would be totally and completely wrong? Okay. I knew that. Just checkin’.
