Dragons!!

EDIT:  lordhellebore 's post just reminded me: Happy Easter, everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend.

Unlike Hellebore's Flist, I'm in OMG! mood not because of Easter, but because of Dragons and Vikings ♥. I don't know how I could have possibly missed this, but I learned only yesterday about the existence of "How To Train Your Dragon", the movie and the books. Male character and obvious annoyances aside, I'm incredibly excited about this. Even though the main dragon looks like a cross between a cat and a tadpole, what's up with that?

Still. There are Vikings!!, and someone on the giant love-fest that is DeviantArt told me there was going to be a shieldmaiden. Yes, she's most likekly going to be female action heroine stock, I know, but I like to think that that'll be counteracted by the awesomeness of Vikings.

Vikings. And dragons. I've already heard that whoever did the runes in that movie ought to have read up on them properly and not used English spelling, and how did someone raised by two guys with fake Hoot's Mon Scots get an American accent...?

Still. Vikings.

and cats tadpoles Stitch dragons!!

Yes, otherwise I'd get a pet iguana tomorrow. :(

Hm, that really surprises me. I'd have thought that what with dogs being more time- and care-intensive, not to mention the fact that they can be quite a bit larger, they'd be predestined to be abused and to end up in shelters. Still, thinking about it, it's true - our local shelter is usually overflowing with cats (to the point where they had to turn one of the bathrooms into another cat room - it's a nightmare), while the dogs can be found new homes, usually. o.O

Dogs are more likely to be considered "part of the family", basically. (And reptiles--um, do not get me started. People get them when they're cute little babies, and abandon them when they're big and need large enclosures. And they often live 20+ years, so they're a big commitment, like birds. Basically, of all household pets, dogs are probably viewed as the least disposable.)

Hm. Having been raised with big dogs I'm glad that they are part of the family, but it's so sad that people think that cats and other companion animals are. :/

Oh, yeah! I love dogs, too--I pretty much love all pets, although I don't really feel warmly about Madagascar hissing cockroaches (but still think they're a responsibility, not a joke pet). I just think that all pets are important responsibilities and valuable parts of our lives.
