THE PET SHOP BOYS

What follows is an old story I made for a competition on DA.

Since it was made, the artist has changed his user name.
Here is a link to his original tale and a higher resolution copy of his drawing:

Need I say that my plagiarism has the complete approval of Fortum-flame (Nee Brandborg8)?

Thank you. Would that I had. As I said, the Artist is not I but Fortum-flame from DA.

You'd have to ask the person that did the drawing but I think that, for his early works,he drew with pncils and then scanned the results.

As I said:I am NOT the artist.

With that title naturally the British Duo from the 80s comes to mind. And just like the title of their second biggest Stateside hit (and Dusty Springield's biggest US hit) the guys are probably thinking (they obviously can't speak) as they struggle in their bonds asking"What Have I Done to Deserve This?" :?: :gag:

You have illustrated the golden rule of buying a pet; any pet. While it is tempting to feel compassionate for the cowering runt of the litter that is no reason to take it home with you. He (or she) obviously has problems and your kindness is not likely going to cure those issues and you will be stuck with a whimpering mess.

When given a choice, as you were, picking the most spirited one is always the best decision. It may require a bit more work at first but in the long run the outcome will be much more desirable.

I've always relished a challenge. The problem was that, at the end of this story, I was facing a different challenge from the one I was anticipating.

If I had one of those cards, I'd take you home. I'll leave it to your delightfully warped imagination what that would be like (grin).

It is about 78f now --get all the way down to 70 or so at night. Probably be a lot warmer still in all that duct tape though (grin).
