I took it to the local animal hospital and they scanned it for an RF chip. They said they found one, but that it was never registered. They suggested I also call the police and file a found animal report.

Also, I apparently got the gender wrong. I thought it was a boy, but it's a spade girl. I guess that protrusion isn't a wee wee. Yes, I just said wee wee.

If no one claims the dog, then I'll hold onto it. It's very loving, and it seems to like watching me play super nintendo.

Just to be safe, my cats never stay out after about 7pm (or until we come in if it's warm outside) and I've 'trained' them to never go into the front-garden (those roads are dangerous you know) and to keep to the back garden and maybe the neighbours.

So far so good

Google doesn't say what a Schipperkele is. Please translate?

Perkele is like the devil or Satan. But worse.

I can only hope that this comes back to haunt me twenty years from now. It'd mean I get to laugh twice!

It looks similar to a couple of breeds that a couple of my aunts/uncles have. They usually have a lot longer fur, but it can be trimmed (as it usually is by my aunts). I can't be sure if it's the same breed or not. That is about as big as they get though. Well, I think one of them is slightly bigger, but it might be a different breed or gender. They all look the same to me.

One of them is pretty pathetic. The thing won't even try stairs. You could put it on a reasonably thick book and it wouldn't move until somebody carried it off. And it's not that it physically can't do it. It has managed to handle a step or two given the right motivation, but most of the time it'll just yap until a human picks it up. Maybe it's all about exploiting people and not fear. I don't know. A little exercise, discipline, affection; in that order might go a long way. Calm assertive energy is the key. A dog that little just has such an easy time exploiting people though so it's hard to get people to give it that. They prefer the idea of babying it.

That's why I say they're useless dogs. The only thing that dog does is depend on you for everything. I guess if you're the type of person that needs to be needed then it could fill that void, but for the rest of us I think that they're just food for real dogs.

Little dogs yap and don't give very good cuddles.

Owning any dog is a disgusting form of slavery.

Fucking Stallman is a celebrity?

And he would want to avoid you IRL too because.... you're Christian.

Sure, celebrities are known for their well-knownness. Just because your hero hates my hero doesn't change that.

So you're a celebrity by the definition given above.

I'm known by hundreds of people, all over the world. Does that mean I'm a celebrity?
