This is blog fiction: a blog kept by a fictional character named Paige. Paige is an animal control officer, single . . . for now :-) Paige’s fictional world begins in March 2005 when she started her blog. So to read her posts in chronological order, start here, scroll ... http://blogpaige.com/?p=19 I had to climb a tree yesterday to rescue a kitten. Fortunately the tree was climbable. No shimmying required. Most of the time cats really will find their way back down again. But that doesn't stop their owners from freaking. And the tricky part isn't even climbing the tree. It's getting ... http://blogpaige.com/?p=31 When I was a kid, I methodically read every novel in my middle school library that had anything to do with animals. Many of them, I read more than once. Some of them I learned later were classics, others I haven’t thought or heard of in years, until tonight, when ... http://blogpaige.com/?p=30 I was nearly t-boned today after easing into an intersection on the southwest side of town. I say "easing." That's how I drive the dog catcher truck. My job is to be around, not to get around, most of the time. So I don't rush anywhere. Ms. Deathwish, on the other ... http://blogpaige.com/?p=29 We moved in together the spring semester of my junior year.

The problem is, Friends do that, ... http://blogpaige.com/?p=27 I got an email from my friend Anna today. Her roommate in college had about nine plastic surgeries between her freshman year and graduation, I kid you not. Anyway, she sent me this link: plastic surgery for dogs. It's cheap, too!

In for questioning: your notion of whether the latest twist in your love life is innocent or guilty. Your next move: call your ... http://blogpaige.com/?p=25 He never asked me for a date. Not a real date, not once. It would be like this. We had a group we hung out with—mostly his buddies from Ithaca college. Plus usually some locals, since one of Gil’s roommates was a local. Teach, I’ll have to blog about Teach ... http://blogpaige.com/?p=24 Now, for some comic relief :-) Apparently, if you live in Ohio, you can now bark at police dogs, because of your right to free speech! http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/news.aspx?id=6576 Woof!
