I didn't steal the dog. It followed me home. I tried to make sure that it stayed where it belonged, but it weighs more than I do. I couldn't have very well picked it up and put it over the fence it had just jumped over, could I?

I left a note. I fed it. I made sure it was properly exercised. I kept it from getting properly stolen or injured.

There's no reason to be upset. It's safe. It's happy. I did nothing wrong.

People seem to make lots of assumptions when it comes to you, don't they?

[consulting_detective]

Constantly. It's not my fault the dog hates being left alone.

It sounds like maybe he's just upset because he was worried. People don't always think rationally when something or someone they love is involved. I'm sure you took very good care of the dog, though perhaps if it happens again, you may want to call them, or have Jumperfucker call? That way there isn't a way for anyone to misunderstand anything and no one worries.

[consulting_detective]

It doesn't matter anyway, because I'm no longer allowed anywhere near the dog. Which is patently unfair, since it was the dog who was disobedient in the first place.

[piplover.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like it was just an unfortunate understanding.

[consulting_detective]

Yes. It was. I could understand him still being upset if I'd hurt the animal, but the most harm that came to it was getting hissed at by a duck when I took the dog to the park.

That seems a bit...harsh, doesn't it? Misunderstandings happen, and I'm not sure why they'd be so hacked off at you after you explained. Do they not have a sense of porportion about it?

[consulting_detective]

Apparently not. Mostly he just wanted to yell and didn't even give me a chance to properly explain. If I'd meant to take the dog, I wouldn't have been so obvious about it, like leaving a signed note stuck to his door.

... Okay, I like you, but is that supposed to be an apology? Just asking, cuz that doesn't really sound like one, luv. :|a

[consulting_detective]

Yes. Shut up.

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

Awesome, that's all I needed to know. ♥

You just have all the cute icons, don't you?

(This is my cutest one :-)

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

Hahahah, thank you! I adore the hell outta my icons, even though 90% of them are anime-related. XD I have more but booo my extended pack expired and I'm too broke to bring it back. :p

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

I have to say, that note sure did sound like you. They probably should have just called around various friends instead of wigging out all night.

like the icon

[consulting_detective]

See? If some random person on the internet could tell who the note was from, why couldn't he?

[alltoseek.livejournal.com]

Hey! I'm not random!

OK, well, maybe a little...

[piplover.livejournal.com]

Maybe it was just he wasn't thinking clearly. When people are upset, they don't always do the smart thing. There wouldn't be so many criminals if that were the case.

[uwsannajane.livejournal.com]

Oh, for heaven's ... A safe, happy dog is a GOOD thing, yes? I would hope that, once people are finished flying off the handle (is that a phrase used in England?), they'll accept your explanation. All this upset does seem unnecessary.

[consulting_detective]

I would have thought so. Apparently this is not how everyone views the situation.

[not-thatbill.livejournal.com]

Generally there's a "sorry" mixed in somewhere in the apology

We're going to have to talk about this

Just

Not now

Well, as long as you showed the dog a good time! I would have panicked myself into a frenzy if my Calvin unexpectedly disappeared, but if you marketed it you could have a future in doggy day care.
