somebody's tossing hand warmer packets into the international house dog yard and the dogs try to eat them. bear got one yesterday and she wouldn't drop it, finally she dropped it all muddy and chewed up. the things are in there so often i imagine it's deliberate. i know some people hate dogs, as some people hate so many things, like life. i have to be vigilant and alive, and dispel the brain fog, and the miasma of hate.
