Confession Of The Day

B

I stole this from another thread. 

Is there anything you feel rather ashamed of having done or not done etc?

Mine is:

I have started but not finished The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun (Kazuo Ishiguro books).

and many other 'worthy' novels. 

Anguished

I do have greater sins I might share at a later date.

    Pugs, like most domestic dogs have evolved to look and sound as they do today because humans bred them like that. They can’t help snuffling because their airways are constricted and they can’t breathe properly. The humans who bred them are either ignorant of the suffering they cause or they don’t care. 

    Perhaps the owner should have kept the dog under control so that it couldn’t make untoward advances, but kicking and harming a defenceless, innocent animal was wrong. The RSPCA states, “Animal cruelty is where a person is deliberately causing an animal to suffer, for example by physically harming them”.

    I was upset when I first read your post.

    Sorry to say, I agree. Pugs are ghastly creatures, though normally I love dogs. Actully, there are some neighbours I'd like to kick in the pants - instead, I give them appropriate names: 'Windy' [fake coughing during Covid and always loudly belching by my kitchen vent], 'Hysteria' [his nervy wife, always imagining I am ridiculing her - hence his 'revenge' behaviour], and 'Motor Mouth' [my noisy neighbour - The Housing Association put up a 6' fence after she attacked me. I was deliriously happy to contribute to the cost!].
