Your uncle of course didn't mean to have something happen. My friend who is a dog owner was really upset when I told her what happened to your dog. Since I haven't had a dog in years and when I did, she wasn't allowed out of our sight, I was unfamiliar with harnesses etc. She said that he had no business leaving the dog alone long enough for that to happen. I understand that if it is part of a pattern, then it speaks to his inability to "tune in" to the world around him. Normally people grow out of that kind of thing when they become adults but not all of us do I guess.

On the topic of "silence being the stern reply" for posts, I will try harder to let you know when I read your stuff. It's been really quiet on LJ lately and I feel like if I get 3 responses I'm lucky.

Now, are you staying in the dorm again this year? Have you plans to erect another shrine to teh god of our idoltry?
