dogs

So, apparently the world's missing out on the actual treasure that could be the "One Hundred And One Dalmatians" sequel movie. I'm just getting a kick out of imagining what the creative process was when it came to crafting this story. 

This dad has clearly tapped into a worthwhile and rewarding way to spend some of his retirement. Apparently he likes to walk some dogs from the local shelter, and also enjoys making up little bios for them. We need more of these!

Contrary to the belief that pets just sit there and mope all day, many animals have rich inner lives filled with jealousy and rage. There's dogs out there herding lawn roombas and cats out there being eloquent, melodramatic divas. There's cats Lion Kinging other cats off balconies and jealous horses up to no good. Animals are just as petty and vicious as the rest of us.

Anyone who has a dog has likely encountered them creating a mess around the house at one point or another. Dogs just love to sink their teeth into those pillows, man. We definitely got a kick out of this humorous little emotional rollercoaster. That mugshot is pure gold. 

Some dogs are more painfully adorable than others. In this case, this dog is nothing short of strikingly adorable. Like, it's looking just like that rug. And then, things only get better once you realize that the infamous @WeRateDogs Twitter account also has a similar account called @WeRateRugs. 

To what extent is a cat or dog capable of feeling guilt? The answer is case by case. In the case of some pets like Prancer, the most irredeemable dog, you're likely to get as much remorse as you would a rock. Some dogs probably think they're doing you a favor by eating the door so you can be together. Maybe dogs who get stuck in things are a little more emotionally invested in you if they need your help, but they're also pretty good at making it seem like they don't really care.

Dogs are blessed with their own unique personalities, and in Prancer's case, that's a major problem. We've all met dogs (and people) who are so maligned, so antisocial, so petty, vindictive and hateful that their search for any semblance of love sounds laughable. Prancer is advertised as that kind of being. Given his exposure, he'll probably find a loving home after this. But who knows if his little, shaking, snarling body has enough love in it to ever reciprocate the sentiment. For a story about a much nicer dog, here's a tumblr tale of a dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.

Dogs have the uncanny ability to find themselves comfortable in the most uncomfortable of positions and places. In a lawnmower seat? No problem. Cantilevered awkwardly between a chair and a couch? Dream on you flying buttress. The circumstances don't matter, nor do the positions. Honestly, some of these good boys and girls straight up look like piles of legs. While it seems like most dogs spend all of their leisure hours sleeping, they also have meaningful, fulfilling lives. When some dogs aren't dozing off at a 270 degree angle, they are being professional dogs who take their work very seriously. Some of the less professional dogs are just getting stuck in stuff. But there are some dogs out there who have stories told about them. Here's a dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.

Blair Braverman's Twitter thread about her adventure with a loving, big hearted good boy named Grinch is pure wholesome gold. Lost it at the one liner about how Grinch basically waited out the span of his short-term memory so that he no longer recalled turning around.
