Cross is turned into a husky and he's having the worst day ever- oh no you're cuddling him and kissing him and calling him cute names and you're petting his fur and it feels amazing and------ this isn't so bad after all

Meant to do this on National Dog Day, but better late than never...

I lost my 14-year old boy back in February and, since I can't live without at dog, I adopted a new boy in March.

Meet Trajan:

He came from a shelter in Southern California, where he had been for over a year. They DNA tested him and discovered he was a combination of different Northern breeds so they reached out to shelters in Alaska, where I saw him on a website run by a friend of mine who finds homes for retired sled dogs.

They were calling him Pepperoni, but I thought he needed a stronger name. I also think he is a GSD/Karelian Bear Dog mix, not the Malemute/Husky and Greenland Dog that the DNA test showed.

This was his reaction to seeing snow for the first time:

I think he is going to like it here in Alaska.

We have also discovered he is unclear on the proper use of dog beds...

He believes every source of water needs to be thoroughly tested...

Balls must be stored in holes...

And, of course, no one ever feeds him, or gives him any attention...

It has been a big adjustment going from 14-year old energy to 2-year old energy, but we will get through it.

Just Tighnari sitting on Karkata.

This was during the archon quest where Tighnari got injured while we were talking to Scaramouche. But I finished his story quest first, so instead of sitting on the ground, he’s now sitting on Karkata.

No rhyme, no reason, one moment Guy was alone in the hold, the next there was a small dog on his lap. Only distinguishing signs are his distinctly grey-wolf-like coloring, the magical aroma of pines and loam, and a comfortable leather collar with the nameplate reading 'Gurrel'.

Guy wakes up after a nap with a doggo on his lap! He is unsure of how he got there, but he must be a stowaway given the strong smell of the forest and already having a name.

"Ohhh! Hello there, little friend! I didn't see you there! Did you come here because of Josep? Or Giovanni?" He made those guesses given they have a bigger weakness for conventional home pets--Guy is otherwise most known for his love for horses. But he recalls the street dog he and Phoebus befriended near the Palais des Papes back home in Avignon, and suddenly, the happier memories tickle a place in Guy's heart he had absolutely forgotten.

"Pleased to meet you, Monsieur Gurrel! I hope whoever is your maman or papa isn't worried for you!" He proceeds to give Gurrel all the belly rubs and pets a doggo could ever ask for.

Gay people will be like “this is my comfort show!” And then show you the most emotionally devastating, stress-inducing, tragic piece of media you have ever witnessed

I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"

Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.

............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.
