I wonder if the handlers were as psychotic in the 19th century?

thank you, Fenris!

I love our dog. He’s always keeping us safe from UPS guys, the mail carrier and blowing leaves — the ninjas that want us dead, that are scared away by his booming barks at 4am or whenever we’d really appreciate some quiet.

I mean, he’ll do DOWN followed by SIT all day long — with a bounce up on the SIT if there’s a treat involved, because he loves him some puppy pushups — but no, simultaneous DOWN and SIT are incompatible, Buggs.

Nice try, though.

Yes, I just quoted Neil Sedaka lyrics. What can I say, my musical upbringing was varied and strange.

And anyway, they are apt. Look at the happiness on the faces of all three of them! Love, love, love.

I’d point out their error, but what if our dog needs saving one day? It’s good to be prepared.

Yeah, I’m always gonna like mutts best.

Plus some of the characteristics breeders select for are just fucking nuts. Smushed-in noses & bug eyes are never going to be awesome, guys.

Fenris vs. ninjas

True story: Fenris can hear the UPS guy pulling into our neighborhood, two blocks away. Fenris does not approve of this. He approves still less of the UPS guy pulling up to our house. Interestingly, he could care less about the FedEx guy or the USPS lady.

Of course, half the time, we can’t hear the UPS truck two blocks away, so we act like it’s ninjas. “Thanks for scaring off the ninjas, Fenris!”

The other half of the time, it’s the middle of the godsdamned night and obviously not the UPS guy — and now we know what it really was.
