goldie the cat

do not do these things ever again....

1. do not take correctol at 3pm. it will start working at 8pm, then 2am, then 6am. stop with the colon complex!
2. do not drink wine with dinner, sambuca with dessert, jello shots at a party...and think you will actually follow through with brunch plans the next day. maybe you'll learn in the decade.
3. do not tell your parents you will pay them back when you won't. they've heard that for, oh, 27 years already.
4. do not skip the gym for a week. you will kick yourself in the ars. and wallow in your sorrows.
5. do not stop trying to make the boyfriend eat vegetables. he will give in one of these days.
6. remeber #1. and do not drink anything called 'ballerina tea', ' japanese diet tea', detox diet japanese ballerina tea'. it's all lies.

lady only sucks on the weekend.

All Things Considered, October 24, 2006 · A dog may be man's best friend. But one dog, Lady, decided she needed more friends -- and she found plenty in the knot of toads living at the local pond. A suburban family's secret struggle with an uncommon addiction comes to light in this personal essay by NPR's Laura Mirsch.

Lady "was really perky, and happy, and generally excited to see you when you came in the door every day," recalls Andrew Mirsch.

But that was before the Mirsch family moved into a new house.

"We noticed Lady spending an awful lot of time down by the pond in our backyard," Laura Mirsch recalls.

Lady would wander the area, disoriented and withdrawn, soporific and glassy-eyed.

"Then, late one night after I'd put the dogs out, Lady wouldn't come in," Laura Mirsch says. "She finally staggered over to me from the cattails. She looked up at me, leaned her head over and opened her mouth like she was going to throw up, and out plopped this disgusting toad."

It turned out the toads were toxic -- and, if licked, the fluids on their skin provided a hallucinogenic effect.

What followed was the Mirsch family's quest to stop their cocker spaniel from indulging herself. But it wasn't easy. Lady was persistent, and resourceful.

The situation seemed to resolve itself when the toads went into hibernation for the winter.

But when they returned, so did Lady -- and with a vengeance.

"We couldn't keep our dog's addiction a secret any longer," Laura Mirsch says. "The neighbors all knew that Lady was a drug addict, and soon the other dogs weren't allowed to play with her."

In the end, Lady seems to have found a way to manage her problem.

"She seems to have outgrown the wild toad-obsessed years of her youth," Mirsch says, "and now only sucks on weekends."
