Carrot has destroyed my headphones. Good and proper. And I wont have an opportunity to buy new ones til I am in Leeds.

Grrrrrrr. Major fucking grrrrrr.
I'm sorry about ur finger but you knew carrotchops was a dog when you took him in.

(variation of Native American story about a man who takes in an injured snake and nurses it back to health only to have the venomous snake bite him and when he asks how could the snake do that to him after all he's done for it, the snakes answers, "Hey, you knew I was a snake when you took me in!")

sorry, though, about your headphones. but I know you won't beat carrot to death. Maybe just introduce him to the concept of it.
