Is it wrong that I started cracking up uncontrollably when Howard Stern led off yesterday's show with the following clip from Ellen Degeneres as she starts sobbing uncontrollably because a dog she adopted and then gave to her hairdresser ended up being reclaimed by the shelter. It's truly hilarious. If you're a warped bastard like me at least. The opening (not shown is this clip) involves Ellen rambling about how she has good days and bad days but is always able to suck it up for this show - but on this day, of all days, she is not able. Because of a freaking dog. That is still alive and fine. Oh my god, does she need medical help. Enjoy. The sobbing starts a few minutes in.

Having just had a family pet of 18 years die I guesss I can really relate to what she's going through albeit her animal is still alive as far as she knows.
I have a brother in the RCMP who breaks into tears when he thinks about his deceased dog.
An aquaintance ( Montral biker, a tough nasty bit of work) was bawling like an idiot for months after his dog died.
So all I can say is that most pet owners who've had a pet get sick and die on their watch might not be so hard on Ellen.
Loss is loss.

I find your comments vry cruel about Ellen. If Derek Jeter died even I would be upset.
Have some compassion for a fellow human being.

As for the second comment on the post, congrats to who ever the coward is that posted under my name as that was really big of you to hide behind the computer.
As for the third post, congrats to who ever it is for clear and away becomming the biggest low life to have ever posted on this blog. Jokes are fun and humorous and I enjoy them as much as anyone, but there's a such thing as going way over the line. The scum bag that had the audacity to write that should at least have the balls to come forward, not that I would at all expect them to.
