keiramarcosSeveral months ago I took Sisko (my Siberian Husky) with me to Petco so I could get his nails professionally clipped. I can do it but we both suffer emotionally for the experience. The girl at Petco is much better at it than I am. Regardless, after we got finished with that we tool around the store and he picks out some toys (okay, I showed him toys and bought the ones he responded positively to) and I was checking out the organic snacks when I feel this very, very cold nose on my ankle and then I hear a soft grunt. I look down... and there is a itty, bitty pig in a harness practically sitting on my shoe.
I stare at it. It oinks. Sisko reaches down and snatches the mini-pig off my shoe and it wiggles around in his mouth -- oinking merrily. I stare in horror and think -- who the fuck brings a pig to Petco and lets it run around wild?
A woman comes around the corner within a few seconds of Sisko picking up this little pig and I come to my senses just as she starts to scream and the following words come out of my mouth, "Oh my god, Sisko, put down the bacon!"
The little pig continues to wiggle and oink like he's having the best time ever. So I point at the floor and say, "DOWN!" and Sisko drops to his belly and reluctantly releases his new George. The pig doesn't run away. It proceeds to rub himself all over Sisko's face. So, I'm forced to pick this thing up and hand it to the faux-hipster who is still squeaking and carrying on like at 12 year old girl.
I've seen that mini-pig several times since and I swear he always looks disappointed when he realizes Sisko isn't with me.

Date: 2012-04-12 02:02 am (UTC)The fact that the pig was running loose in Petco is funny.
The fact that out of all the people in the store it chooses YOU made me giggle madly.
The fact that it LIKED being picked up like dinner by Sisko is hilarious but...
"Oh my god, Sisko, put down the bacon!"
I laughed til I cried and almost needed my inhaler! :D

Date: 2012-04-12 03:50 am (UTC)My mom and our Nana have the same issue about nail clipping...Nana hates it, but suffers, and my mom suffers because her puppy-girl is suffering, and our Storm just plain won't put up with it, which she celebrates by stepping on my bare feet whenever I'm there.
As a woman who isn't attracted to podial piercing on others or especially on herself...how much? Pretty please?

First it was all slave/master in a very nasty not nice way. THEN Garcia used the word Asshat! Twice! In a beautiful rant at Morgan. It was the stuff that dreams are made of :D
