I love when they make up their own rules Angua has a similar extrapolation with sitting. When we got her, she knew to sit on command and understood that this got her a treat. But now anytime she wants something, if we don't immediately acquiesce, she makes sure we're watching and then sits.

If you pop over to Houston, you're welcome to hug her as much as you'd like.

An edited meme tweet that says: "Craig Counsell told me injuries keep eating his pitching staff so I asked how many pitchers he has and he said he just goes to AAA and gets a new pitcher afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding pitchers to the IL and then Tommy Hottovy started crying."

I'm sorry for your loss. Here's our baby girl Angua out on a walk trying to convince one of the local street cats that they should be friends.

"I'm in this photo and I don't like it" meme template that has been edited to say "I'm in this skeet and I don't like it". A screenshot of the questionnaire that Facebook shows when you report a post, titled "What's going on?". Below that are radio buttons with four options: "It's annoying or not interesting", "I'm in this skeet and I don't like it", "I think it shouldn't be on Facebook", and "It's spam". The second button is selected.

Please tell me that you have included everyone's favorite take on Larry Ellison... (Transcription screenshot via simonwillison.net/2024/Sep/17/..., originally from Brian Cantrill's talk at USENIX LISA many many years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN...)

"Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle."

Don't worry, the Manfred Man(n) isn't a real ghost. He's very much still alive.

Angua loves volunteering to help! (Although she would never say no to being a paid helper, if paid in sashimi...)

Come on Cubbies. Still plenty of game left!

Eventually, she was coaxed to leave and the cat did appear and run across the street. But that didn't stop her from wanting to check it out on her evening walk--just to be sure that her new friend didn't want to come play. (They still did not want to come play.)

Angua found a cat hiding in this culvert on a walk yesterday. After thoroughly investigating (sticking her head in the opening and whining), she decided that we were just going to camp out on the grass next to the ditch and whine until it came out to play.

It's an epidemic today. Angua is watching us have toast with brunch.

Any tips for getting them to be ok with coming up there? Angua basically never wants to come up on the sofa with us (but she's fine getting up onto the patio furniture). Even if we lure her with a treat, she takes it and then hops back down.

No cheating. Post the last photo of your pet.

Angua agrees that the best way to lay in that bed is with your head hanging out.

Hey everybody! For a starter post, here's my beautiful puppy out enjoying one of her morning walks. Hopefully your day is going just as well as hers!
