He also gets a little Sheba brand cat food but no dry food.  Wookie likes to sleep on my hair at night, it&#8217;s like having a big fuzzy Russian fur cap on my head.  The cats were cuddle puddle sleeping with me this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was almost attacked by a dog this week when I went out to get the trash can and mail.  A young guy was walking this Belgian Malinois \/ Rotweiler \/ Shepard mix and it went crazy trying to attack me.  It&#8217;s the neighbors dog so I was familiar with him but it was scary.  The guy straddled him and choked him with the collar but he barely could contain him.  Technically it&#8217;s till a puppy but probably well over 100lbs atm, he&#8217;s going to be huge but not thin and lanky like a Manilinois but stocky with an enhanced square jaw like a rot.  If the leash had broke or if a man had not been the one walking him, the dog could have easily killed me.  I&#8217;m not exaggerating there you know &#8211; and if it killed me, then what? No one would give a shit that&#8217;s what.  The excuses, the endless excuses for the chaos, the drugs, the poverty, the complete decline.  &#8220;They&#8217;re oppressed!&#8221;  Oh thank you Karl Marx you fucker.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how bad things get everyone is in denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh it&#8217;s not that bad.&#8221;  Pitbulls crossed with great danes.  Mallinois&#8217; back crossed with their father-brother rotweiler.  Why.  Why is this a thing.  Remember when people had family dogs?  A little terrier.  A floppy eared mut.  They can&#8217;t afford to feed themselves so these dogs get neglected.  Unfed.  Unsocialized.  Talk to people &#8211; &#8220;oh yeah so and so had their three year old killed.&#8221;  Casually, like it&#8217;s a Tuesday (because it is) &#8211; how did this happen in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Side note&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My son said someone came into the sporting goods store with her Venti-latte and blue jeans put on backwards (yes really) and said, &#8220;I want a shotgun!&#8221;  He brought her over to the gun case where she stops, stares and asked&#8230;.&#8221;is&#8230;.is that for sale? OMG&#8221; she pointed to a plastic knife with the word, &#8216;CHINA&#8217; printed on the plastic blade&#8230;.yeah&#8230;.it&#8217;s for sale.  &#8220;OMG, OMG, this is an original Princess Bride blade from the ancients&#8230;how much??&#8221;   Well, $14.99 &#8230; she had him put it on hold as she did not have $14.99 and wandered out of the store still impressed she had found a museum relict.  ;-P <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe that&#8217;s the week long migraine, it seemed to start with the dog event.  Maybe the whole, &#8220;you just have to put up with it, and a threat to your life isn&#8217;t a big deal&#8221; just pisses me off on the inside in a way that is hard to express.  I just have druggler fatigue along with sick of the grey skies and not feeling well.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"260\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SCR-20260220-kesc-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SCR-20260220-kesc-1.png 260w, https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/SCR-20260220-kesc-1-231x300.png 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><figcaption>Mr. Poutou<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a 1969 trailer home that still has the original carpet and wood paneling for sell in my neighborhood, it sits on a lot so small it barely has a place for a car &#8211; $270,000.
