UPDATE! Backstory on Lucky the Ghetto Poodle
Guest writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “i live right up the street from Lucky and Sampson (the bigger dog that ‘hangs out’ with Lucky) …”
“Lucky’s owner is named Allen, and he told me the whole story of how lucky went blind, so Allen got him surgery, and then a month later Lucky broke his back jumping up into a pick-up truck.”
“Some $6k later, the dog is still alive and constantly trying to get into the wrestling matches between Sampson and my great dane. Allen yells at him to get out of it before he gets hurt, and that all of his investments have been in Lucky, so he has to live to be very old.”

Adopt Me – Please
HouseBroken wrote on the Prospect Heights message boards: “… a great rotti-puppy has been living on a junkyard lot on Bergen tied to a tree. Her owner finally agreed to give her up and now she needs to find a home or a place to stay while she finds the right home. She is about 9 months old and less than 50lbs. She is super sweet and loves people.”
sje adds: “I met her … she’s sweet, playful and anxious to please. We taught her ‘sit’ in about a minute. She needs to learn how to walk on a leash. This dog is so happy for any attention, she’ll make such a loving pet. She’s only about 50 lbs, a purebred Rottweiler, and contrary to the photo, has a normal sized tongue…”

Get Out of My Yard, You Stupid Chicken
Over on 9flights, Susan asks whether chickens are the new rats in Prospect Heights: “A few nights ago, it was pleasant enough to sleep with the windows open … Sometime in the middle of the night I was awoken by a ruckus that sounded strangely like chickens. This evening, as Matt was out watering the plants on the fire escape, he heard someone next door open her window and yell out, ‘Get outta my yard you stupid chicken!’ We looked around, and sure enough–Chicken!”
Should you be concerned? One poultry sighting is surely an anomaly. But two is a trend, and three is prima facie evidence of a poultry crisis.

Quig: Excuse me, are you short a bag? I have one right here.
Gent: No.
Quig: Well, you have to clean up the crap, you know. It’s the law.
Gent: Are you a cop?
Quig: No.
Gent: Well, if you look at the sign, it has street cleaning.
Quig: That doesn’t help me if I step in it. It’s the law you have to clean it up.
Gent: Mind your own business.
Quig: It’s the law…. (macro)
Gent: Say that one more time, and I’ll punch you in the face.
Me: I bet you would.
