You know that song The Air That I Breath?

Been listening to that recently.

The chorus goes: Sometimes…all I need is the air that I breath and to love you.

So true! But the key word is sometimes.

Sometimes I also need a beer, onion rings and a Mars bar.

Other times…all I need is a beer, onion rings and a Mars bar.

Dogs in Heaven


Is My Dog Sleeping Too Much? What A Healthy Sleep Routine Looks Like

Lately I've been wondering why dog medications come in bottles with safety lids. Is the rate of dog suicide by overdose exploding?

They can't be meant for me. I don't eat poop, diapers and underwear and then have diarrhea for a week.

Vet: He's gone. An overdose. Looks like suicide.

Me: Suicide? How do you know?

Vet: He left a note

Dog: Dear family. By now you've learned the tragic news. Sorry, but you forced my paw. Leaving the toilet lid closed? I thought by following you into the bathroom 24/7 I was making it clear I want a drink. Instead, you flush the toilet and close the lid. You try going a night without a good slurp of waste water. And your shoes. I was sure that with so many of them, some had to be for me to chew. I did the math. Most of them you never wore. Those are the ones I chewed, and you still got mad.

Anyway, you did the best you could, I guess. I'm in dog heaven and it's nothing but open toilets. I hope you learn from this hard lesson and treat your next dog a lot better.

Work hazards

Orange Dog Poop Bag

One of the biggest hazards in the dog walking business is the poop bag, but not in the way you might expect.

Last night I left a full poop bag in my car, baking for 12 hours in the intense heat that a car reaches in October when you throw in out-of-control climate change.

Why did I do that? Why didn't I throw it out, like a sane person would do?

Good questions.

You see, sometimes clients don't have accessible green bins. Sure, I could leave the bag on their porch, or right at the front door, or maybe on their bed, in hopes of encouraging them to bring out their bin.

But I have scruples. Ethics. Morals. When it comes to matters of excrement, be it canine or human.

So I throw it in my car, right where I can see it so I don't forget it's there. Of course I have every intention of grabbing it when I see a garbage can or when I get home. I'm not stupid.

Sometimes I forget, okay? I'm preoccupied with important stuff, like opening a cold beer after a long, hot day. In October. During out-of-control climate change.

Consequently, this morning my car smelled like the instrument you would use to give a dog a colonoscopy. Or, like I was trapped in the bowels of a dog that is just finishing the digestion of a dead skunk. Or, like I was a fetus gestating inside the rectum of a Great Dane.

To top it off, I was supposed to pick someone up this morning. Someone important enough that I couldn't invite them into this riding rectum with me.

So I had to switch to my wife's car, while my car screamed in agony until the smell was gone.

So don't talk to me about your risky job. 

Come for a drive with me. By the way, I work for Uber too.

Weather Torn

I tell ya, I'm really torn about this weather.

Beautiful, sunny, hot weather allows me to wear my two-piece bathing suit even longer into the year, guzzle beer on the dock, and show off my skin-coloured tats, starting noon sharp. And people don't stare, because they're enjoying the weather too.

For a fraction of a second, in-between burps, I say "wait a minute".  This weather means we're all doomed, eventually. When? Who knows? Hopefully just before the moment people say to themselves, hey, you don't look so hot in that two-piecer anymore.

It's kind of nice existing during this existential crisis, when the weather is so gorgeous. I mean, when the dinosaurs died off, the weather really sucked. Meteorites will do that.

So, we're kind of lucky. Humanity will die off with a really nice tan, probably in a beer garden somewhere.

Heated debate

Scientists have discovered that the oceans are warming up faster than climate models say they should be.

But why?

That's where things get interesting.

As the debate over the cause heats up, scientists can't decide if it's actually a heated debate over global warming, a warming debate over global heating, or just a cry for attention and funding.

Scientist Ice-B (B for Berg, not related to Ice-T, but is a part-time rapper) thinks people should just cool it on the speculation. Sipping Grey Goose over B-shaped ice cubes, Ice said that, although scientists passionately disagree, cooler heads will prevail. "We shouldn't freeze anyone out who has a different opinion."

Climatologist Luke Warm loves to argue the issue, but then lets off steam acting out practical jokes at the UN Climate Conference in Dubai. His latest plan is secretly turning on everyone's heated car seats so they think this global warming thing is really getting out of hand. This bizarre behaviour is probably caused by the fact that he never knew his real father.

Will the debate boil over over the boiling oceans?

Chocolate Jesus



Looking forward to hunting for that chocolate baby Jesus this weekend. 

I like the one with white icing for diapers. Stay away from the chocolate icing. Actually I prefer the naked baby Jesus. But circumcised. Looks way better.

I wonder if my wife will hide it in the man cave again this year. Getting kind of tired of that. It's getting easier and easier to find it. Can you help me move the boulder, honey?

Found 2 nails in the one last year. That was weird.

How can we even tell if this is what baby Jesus actually looked like? Would they really risk taking a mould of his face, given the weight if his responsibilities and the fact that most babies died 30 seconds after they were born back then. They grabbed a stand-in baby for sure. Looks a bit colicky too.

The drag about eating an entire chocolate baby Jesus in one sitting is that it's resurrected 3 days later in the form of explosive diarrhea.

I guess that's kind of a statement on the condition of our world. Until he comes back, anyway.

Protect people, not potholes

I was driving along Yonge at Davisville minding my own business. And there it was…

Workmen digging another fucking hole in the road. No problem. There are currently 2 billion holes in Toronto roads, waiting to be unholed. It's an unholey task.

The huge problem, in my eyes, was the cop standing beside the hole, on his phone surfing handcuff porn and looking rather bored, as if protecting people from a pothole might be a useless endeavour. At $65/hour.

The hole was carefully marked off by pylons and tape and it seemed, to the untrained eye, that people were quite used to dealing with the sudden appearance of a hole and managed themselves very well in the presence of such perceived danger. No one fell in the hole and the hole itself seemed quite okay with people walking by. It didn't, for example, lunge at anyone with a knife.

And this was right beside the subway, where people are stabbed almost on a weekly basis. And pushed on tracks and assaulted. And die.

What's the death count on the TTC in the last year? Higher than the death count from potholes, I believe.

And yet we can't seem to afford to keep cops on the TTC. The money is going down a hole, so to speak.

So maybe someone can ask one of the mayoral candidates whether they support money for cops and potholes or cops and people's lives.

Protect people, not potholes.
