To Meep Or Not To Meep

A friend of my human roommate let us know about a news article she had read abot the word "meep." Here are a few on the same subject:

One Person’s “Meep!” Is Another’s Poison

‘Meep’ controversy continues online

What's wrong with 'meep'? It's all in how you say it

Mass. principal bans students from saying 'Meep!'

Danvers High School says students can’t say ‘meep’

And so on...

I admit a certain narcissistic pride in a big fuss made about my name. But it gets tiresome hearing humans repeatedly say "Meep." My human roommate, for example, has been known to "meep" until I just want to claw her.

I think that the Danvers High School principal has made matters much worse by calling the word "meep" to everyone's attention. If he had really wanted to end it's appeal to the student population, he would have requesting that all adults working in the school system would "meep" at various intervals. Then it would no longer be cool to the students.

Busy

I have been busy with my medical practice and cheese store, so that is why I have not been posting for over a year now. Time really does fly when you are busy! I am well aware that Turbo is posting almost every day. He's a publicity hound, so to speak.

Practice Expanded

I've decided to expand my practice...

Winter Alert!

Iron Paw

As I've mentioned previously, I am the alpha of our house. Turbo (my apprentice) is often very irritating! He makes a lot of noise with is frequent tirades on what he thinks is stupid. Many times he will stand on the couch and yell at Lex. I sometimes have to interject myself into the situation. The problem mostly lies with Lex, who mostly mopes and whines. I hate that, too! I should point out that Lex weighs more than twice what Turbo does!

I try to keep Turbo within a strict behavior guideline. He will frequently enter a room inappropriately and I'll have to get up and block his path. Once he even got the hiccups. That was really annoying! I growled at him every time he hiccuped, but he just wouldn't stop!

The Game of Tag

I've been tagged by Arwen.

Here's how this tag is played:

The player of this game starts with "5 weird things/habits about yourself." Then you tag 5 friends and list their names. The furries who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

1. I am a practioner of the medical arts. I am semi-retired now, however. I specialized in tooth extraction, ear care, and wound care.

2. I am the alpha dog in our house.

3. I love swimming, but once a fish bit my tail and it got infected.

4. I am very muscular and love knocking people over when I want attention.

5. I have a bit of a vision impairment, but it doesn't seem to be progressing.

I tagged Moonshadow, Ferris & Cameron, Nemo & Lilo, Phoebe & Bobbe, and Katsu.
