Merrill Was Right

some wild shit going on in the notes that’s hard to pick up on if you’re not getting notifications every time someone says anything:

"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, and species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?

me: I will raise him no differently than the two 80-lb labs I had growing up. absolutely no hoity-toity frou frou little yapyap dog stuff. he's gonna be a good ol' fashioned, rough-and-tumble, capital D-O-G—

to celebrate the popularity of this post, I ordered him another set of the linen jammies in yellow. now he looks like paddington bear

I made this image for my working line, bred to hunt all day, rough tough... princess. She's *such* a princess. You'd never know she spent her first 8mo in outdoor (hunting) kennels; this dog was born to cuddle under the covers and wear pretty tiaras with matching necklaces. Anyway, I would like to share it for all the rough tough pets out there:

My little dog and sport dog both yearn to Dog. My biggest dog... broke everything I swore I'd never do to anthropomorphize a dog, because he shivers pathetically when not clothed and will be consistently skinny or even hunger strike for more than a week without being made special dinners.

Disappointed by Nolan's Odyssey?

This is the funnest expression ever pulled in all of starwars history

We were doing an activity where the kids got to make a playbill for a musical about themselves and all the other kids were like “character list: mommy, daddy, me, my brother, my best friend” “scenes: I get a puppy, first day of school, my baby sister is born”
