*SIGH*
Looks like:
(1) New backyard neighbors own a dog
(2) New backyard neighbors didn't bother with a simple fence check before letting said dog loose in their new back yard
On the bright side, the dog is not an "attack cats on sight" type.
On the other hand, with both cats outside and trapped on leashes, having strange dogs show up in my yard is quite irritating to me.
So now this weekend I get to mend some fences.

Central Wisconsin is where the Midwest biker gangs cook their meth. The local strip clubs reflect this plight especially.

You're gonna shoot the dog, huh.
Oh wait, you meant literally! Wow, these types of situations are handled very differently in the Midwest.
Although, it's a new neighbor, so you'd probably give a warning the first time (without bothering to fix the fence, obviously) after that it's considered open season.

So... on the one hand I am a very private person. On the other hand, this news isn't mine, and she wants to crow it to the skies, so...
After much effort on her part, GothBard just got an out-of-cycle promotion to Senior Game Designer, and she's over the moon.
So good news for us!
Congratulations!

I have never been to a strip club. The one in the town where I live was notorious for employing a 14 year old at one point, and looked like a grotty scum-chasm from the outside. Given that it wasn't called a 'Gentleman's Club', there was no incentive for them to clean either the premises or the staff, so the interior would have been even worse.

We've nicknamed him Purrlman.
And yes. He's big. And he's still managed to wedge himself behind the washing machine. He's shy.

The first photo perfectly presents why he got nicknamed "Purrlman".

Animals are more important than people, yes that is true. However, pets are not animals in the Midwest, they're alarm systems for farms.

Your pets are important. Other people's pets aren't.

I guess that's why Wisconsinites consider Illinoians "soft".

The place I went to with my dad was called The Rear End and was in a decrepit former meat packing plant behind a dilapidated drive in movie theater in the middle of nowhere.
And that was the least scary part about it.
Let's just say, my dad had some words with his business partner over that sales meeting.
