    I’ve never heard dogs “meow” before…

    Whatever the temperature is outside in the blizzard, it’s several degrees frostier in here!

      And here I thought Sparkle was being a b*tch… Live and learn.

    Does the notch in the ear mean Sparkle has been spayed?

    Highly unlikely. I expect it’s a result of fighting.

      And HT isn’t even directly involved.

        When is he ever directly involved in anything? He’s really more of a manipulator. (Except when he’s feeling murdery.)

    “Mess in the states?” Does this mean the reality blindness actually _is_ confined to the US?

    Or have they just been reading too many Democratic party fundraising emails?

      That’s going to mean some very confused tourists

    This is HT’s account of things, so all I can be sure of is that it’s all Skin Horse’s fault.

    Who knows, it may be. Reality blindness certainly seems to have fixed the whole “going public” situation.

    Oooh, you know, HT should be introduced to Julie R, I don’t know what would happen but it would be entertaining.

      With any luck, she would eat him. She seemed quite fond of humanity. And the irony of him being eaten rather than just shot is quite appealing.

    U can’t touch me!
    U can’t touch me!

    My-my-my-attitude’s bad, a Canadian pride!
    Really wanna say, simplified,
    Hey, Sweetheart, you’ve gone over and betrayed us!
    When you took that job you might as well have spayed us!
    You’ve come out against our maker Captain Bran!
    You’re a big lap poodle filled with bureaucrat plans!
    You order us to get rid of H. T,
    And you spend all your time with Unity!
    It’s crazy, and it’s all too much,
    And that’s one thing u can’t touch!

    Uh-oh-uh-oh. Uh-oh-uh-oh…
    Stop! Problem time!

    Every time we see you, you’re on to something new
    You need our help to do it, but you won’t give us a clue.
    Now why should we help, when we’re doing great?
    You’ve fled from the pack, you’re excommunicate!
    You’ve gone around the states, from Colma to DC,
    It’s “Problem, hey problem, yo problem, hey problem,” until some other plea, can’t touch me.

    Yeah, yeah, can’t touch me.

    —from “U Can’t Touch This,” M. C. Hammer. Or maybe it’s “Super Freak,” Rick James.

      The thing that I love about music is that while I sort of know this as Hammer’s song, I much more know this as I Can’t Watch This by Weird Al Yankovick. I was listening to NPR’s Ask Me Another, and I identified the song as Paty At The CIA by Weird Al, but I didn’t know the base song.

        Well, I know it best from the “In Living Color” parody (“Every time you see me, the Hammer’s on a roll / even with my head stickin’ out the zipper hole.”) Thank God for YouTube.

        I’d call that a positive.

        So this isn’t Superfreak?

          Well, there are two schools of thought about that.

    Sparkles does have a point though: they were bred to conquer the US

    And just noticed something: how come Sparkles has eyelashes butt Sweetie doesn’t? All she has is that adorable little tooth (that switches from being on the top and on the bottom)

      I always thought she had two

        Usually only see one at a time, so it’s difficult to tell if it’s two or just one that migrates for “The Cute”

    I hope HT meets Julie. I am just waiting for that. 😀

    Well Sparkles, I imagine that as Unity is currently presiding over a body stitched together of assorted other bodies, she may potentially make for ideal perfume material for the discerning canine. That being said, Sweetheart hasn’t “rolled” in her yet, at least not that we’re savvy to 😉 Sorry, I’ll stop now.

      Sparkle did call her a lap dog. I wonder what she thought Sweetheart had been lapping.

    One wonders if this would be the same reception Sweetheart would be getting even if H.T. hadn’t arrived at the pack. I mean, sibling rivalry only explains so much about the relationship between those two, the rest is only Sparkle being a, well, a her. If all goes well, she might feel just a tad foolish at the end of this arc.

    Instead of bragging about her “self-actualization” — which no one in the pack cares about anyway — maybe Sweetheart should point out that they had H.T. locked up at one point for planting a bomb at a meeting of the Transgenic Union.
