Insert Van Gogh joke here, woof woof

[sigma7]

Anni Sheriffius said she was trying to wash off what she thought was dirt on her dog Jasmine’s ear when the ear fell off.

Sheriffius rushed her dog to the veterinarian to learn that the dog’s ear had been cut off by a dog groomer and super-glued back on.

“And I saw the ear float away, and it freaked me out,” Sheriffius said.

Bonus coverage in the "there are minions and then there are minions" file: Debra Pickett resigned from the Sun-Times Monday afternoon, minutes after being asked to do a story she thought was preposterous.

“I laughed,” says Pickett, recalling her response when features editor Christine Ledbetter called with the assignment to breast-feed her infant son in public places and write about it. "I have to say I didn't take it terribly seriously." She'd seen other Sun-Times stories begin with an "outrageous premise" then get negotiated into something not beneath the dignity of adults. Some other day, she and Ledbetter might have begun negotiating. But not this time.

If the groomer did that to my dog, I'd be suing.

Oh, and if my editor wanted me to breast-feed in public and was actually serious, I would be quite serious when I quit. That's a personal decision and not all of us want to go out in public and see b00bs. But maybe that's just me. :/
