Cry Baby
This really has nothing to do with anything…
I was on an airplane today. It was a four hour trip so I did several different things to stay busy. I read some business magazines, I watched my iPod (Ugly Betty, season 1) and I started a great book called Tell Me Where it Hurts by Dr. Nick Trout.
Dr. Trout is a veterinarian in the Boston area. His storytelling is compelling and his subject matter is near and dear to my heart. The problem was I cried through half of my flight — any time I even think about a dog getting hurt, sick or dying I can’t control the tears.
I wonder what my fellow passengers thought about this middle-aged, professionally dressed woman sobbing all the way from Milwaukee to Las Vegas!

I’m the same way about animal stories. If people start telling me a sad story that involves an animal I say “stop or I will be forced to squeeze my eyes shut, plug my ears and sing very loudly”. That usually gets the message across.
