Let’s say you have a brutal day at the office. Rubbernecking traffic made you an hour late for work, and the boss made you stay late for a pointless meeting. By the time you make it home, you’re absolutely spent and your shoulders are sore. A massage would really hit the spot right about now, wouldn’t it? Fido can’t voice his opinion, but he feels the same way.

It's the "gift" that keeps on giving. From the Khaleej Times Online/AFP.

Pet sales would be banned altogether, except for the sale of pet fish. All companion animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, and lizards would be considered as pets. If it passes, San Francisco residents would have to go to a shelter or rescue group to adopt an animal. Sounds good, but I just don't believe this will pass.
