I haven't wrote much on LJ lately, been too busy with the two jobs, skijoring, fostering a GSDxHusky and everything else I guess... But I had to write something about an horible event that occured today.

I was out playing with Titus and Whisky (foster dog) in the park not too far from my place, its a very common place where a lot of dog owner comes and go with their dogs, its fenced, and is mostly a unofficial dog park. I'd say all the dogs are friendly and owner responcible... -wrong-

There was this goergous German shepard dog who started to run and play around with my two boys, he was okay for most of the time, but it got out of hand pretty quickly, when I saw that, I called Titus (yes, I'm lucky enough to have a husky who listens to recalls) and they both trotted back to me... followed by the german shepard who decided it was fun to bite...

he bit Titus.... Now, working for an emergency vet clinic and as a first respondant technitian in a pet ambulance service, I know how to deal with wounds... so I knew he needed to be brought at the Emergency ASAP.

DX : puncture on abdominal wall.

Let me tell you, if theres one thing you never want to see, is your own dog guts...

After 45 minutes of surgery, he's now in recovery, I'm lucky enough that I might even be able to bring him home tonight when he's totally awake (mostly because I know how to monitor him, and have the essential at home, but honestly I wouldn't have wanted if the guts or bladder were touched)

I just had to rant/vent/share... I guess..

Life sure is tough for dogs, isn't it? D: /sarcasm

Hope everyone has a great holiday :)

which is the only reason DUSTIN O'HALLORAN came to my attention. was about to change the channel this evening when An American Affair came on. the intro music was gorgeous. it appears he was a foley artist before getting more consistent work writing music. and of course, i have to give him props for being the pianist/vibraphonist in his own score. i'd give this film a listen if you like simple, elegant piano scores

Here are a couple of pics of Jason at the British Independent Film Awards held yesterday in London.

There was also a rather witty, if ascerbic article in The Guardian about the awards.
