Side note on Garry Tredeau; Doonsbury cartoon characters are not drawn by Tredeau, but by artist Don Carlton (at least they used to be, he might be dead now? ). I went to school with Dons daughter and Don would come into school and draw them for us (grade school at the time). It was cool. |

Not that Ireland/scotland/wales can't be beautiful in a gloomy, barfly, bad-teeth, stench of desperate existential ennui kind of way. If you like that kind of thing. Spain is more of the sitting-at-a-cafe-when-suddenly-everyone-decides-lets-all-share-wine-and-dance kind of place. And there's sun. |

I'm with Minnie on this, why couldn't he just do a normal outfit or go shirtless! Maybe say hello to a cow and ask for forgiveness for the milk crimes Canada keeps on committing?
On the other hand, doing this this badly has given Canada free or everywhere and this strategy might even turn out to be a boost for Canada.

Fucking dogs. We have to put ours down today and I'm way more emotional than I thought I'd be about it.

I was 20 when after army I moved away from home. I took with me two plates, a frying pan, a tiny pot, two forks and two knifes and a sack of puppy food for the puppy I bought the night before moving. I should've been terrified about uni starting or how to become an actual adult (never happened) but on our way to the student housing, all I thought about was how on earth would I manage to find a job that would fit my class schedule to keep the puppy fed. Our start together went epically. I found a job, managed to figure out I had dyslexia, classes went really well since I finally figured out how to write. Yeah, in university... From 6 am morning walk to the evening roller skating or running that never took place before 2am our puppy life was busy but epic. Tessa grew up to be a complete bitch. She hated my boyfriend of the time, he had no business in her bed (where I was allowed to sleep...), turning up home drunk meant she threw anything she could find on me at six am, she once threw my frying pan on the bed for fucks sake! Tessa wasn't the biggest dog in the world, but she was fierce and fast. When I had my first go with a stalker who broke in to the mentioned flat twice, she was still in basic training but after that I taught her how to take down a man and she started from that day on to be more guarded. My ex hated that dog so much Our life was pretty normal besides our insane schedule but she came everywhere with me. I have tons of pics from our pub where Tessa was also served with her own pint (of water), we went hunting together when ever we could since she loved catching her own food and I didn't mind eating fresh rabbit stew for free on our tight student budget and I didn't feel like asking my parents for money. Once she brought me a mallard when she considered our diet too narrow in the middle of a winter. I swear, she was the best horrible bitch I've ever had. After she had been without a master for a few years, she decided to allow me to pair up again. This time around she was even kind enough to allow the future hubby to her bed. Then, a few years later she started to act up big time. The hubby and I were going through a really rough time since a nice doctor had told me a bit earlier that if we would want kids, we should start working on it. I still remember how depressing the thought was for me but I had kind of given up on the idea of having even one at that time. A few months later the dog acting up and not letting even my dad near was the first hint I got that a baby was going to join the family. At no point did she leave me alone. When we brought home the baby we were pretty afraid of her reaction. Considering her training and her attitude towards everyone else but me, I had been considering giving her to my dad. Well, she sniffed the baby, went to fetch her best, smelliest, most disgusting bone and gave it to the kid who at the mature age of 2 days didn't appreciate the gift enough so she refused to be in the same room with the horrible baby for months. I've never seen a dog so hurt. On our usual day walk, some random woman came too close to the baby carrier, and from that day on to her last day on earth Tessa was convinced I was unfit to be a parent and that it was her job to take care of the kids. If we were walking on sidewalk, she made the kids walk on the safer side. If we were swimming, she herded me to the water so I could keep the babies from dying. If I didn't go, she went to keep the kids away from the water and we are talking distances of a few ft and water for less than an ft. If we went for a walk in the woods, her favorite lunch items were left alone because she was busy making sure I wouldn't lose the kids. If the kids went to grandma, the dog went too or if not allowed, she ran off and showed up at their door. She didn't like the kids or play with them, didn't even greet them when we came home but she never trusted me with them after an old lady got too close to them without her being informed of a clearance again. When my dad died, she let me pet her for hours and she hated being petted. When we moved to the states my mom suggested that we should leave the 12 year old dog home and after that the dog refused to even shit on her lawn. When we moved to Seattle, she became even funnier about her role as the security officer of the family but the signs of a rabid decline were there. She had a few tumors and her joints were hurting badly. A day or two after my first road trip I finally had to admit that she had reached her end. The shock of seeing her for the first time for a month was too much. There was nothing I could do so I took her to the vet, had her put down and then I drove home. I felt nothing. The kids were crying, hubby was trying to look unhappy, our other dog seemed a bit off. Absolutely not a hint of feelings came out. Then this happened. http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...1010588&page=5 Post 94, I couldn't apparently post directly. I still start laughing spontaneously at times when I remember that situation at the parking lot. That is by far my favorite thread on this forum and I read it often since it reminds me of her and our weird relationship. I'm sorry you have to go through this now but the good memories will push through at some point and loving something as stupid as a dog is completely worth it! My Tessa was a horrible dog. Never obeyed me if she knew I didn't need her to, then on other times she was a total showoff and she hated to look like a bitch she was when we were around the obedience crew with their uppity breed dogs. She had a fuck off stare that kept men away from her bed (let's face it, I was only allowed because I fluffed her pillow so well), she didn't like anyone and her way of saying thanks was a cold stare. You're now surprised you feel bad but just remember that you don't want a dog when the wife and the daughter tries to talk you in to looking at puppy pics.

The man has read your posts and the man knows that a middle aged man who can pull off an ay vert is dangerous beyond comparison.
The love is real, we just can't express it by tagging! Who wants to bet on how fast Minnie has a new puppy? He kept writing about their dog like he wants to be without one, but I'll give him three months. Hell, I want a puppy now and I've never had a normal dog and I spread have two idiots!

Wow, I feel like I just woke up from a daydream/previous life in a sci fi movie. I have these disjointed memories of something called a SSOTT. That it was well over a thousand pages. That academic papers around the world examined its contents...
It's going to take days to get back to page 666 so we can post the "Pit of Ultimate Darkness" again. Anyway, Central/South America it is. So... Hola Amigos! Anyway, yeah... Trudeau. He's totally jumped the shark. It's one thing to be inclusive, it's another to be a world leader/SJW. Ay Caramba on the "people kind" thing. WT Actual F!!!

This move happened because the original ssott got closed due to size and I wanted a warmer climate (trolls areses freeze in the temps I have going on here!) and the original ssott was evaporated because I requested it. The rules are the same as always: Fuck if agreeing is needed but we better be doing the arguing in good spirits.

What was her name?
I'll send wah the last one of Tessa and me and we'll see if he posts of them. Edit: I shit you not, I can't find pics . I did find a clip of her taking down a guy in one of her first contact practices ( a guy in Kevlar) and a guy screaming at me since Tessa went for ankles as she always did if she didn't feel like putting her fangs to the throat (that shit became her trademark about five years later).

Aww... sorry for your loss minn
I remember my aunt who lost a dog of hers. She was completely out of it for so long. He was a well trained German Shepherd too. None of the dogs after him was ever the same for me.
