Whenever something fortuitous happens, I try to give them a shout out...."we made it, girls!"

I laugh every time I see the "just eat like your ancestors did to be healthy" spiel....my recent ancesotrs survived the depression. The older ones were Irish/UK mix with unidentified Eastern Euros for good measure. My ancestors would have murdalized a cheeseburger deluxe at a crappy diner.

Someone should warn him that getting into bed with El0n is a less than stellar deal. In many, many, many ways.

You grew up in the Twin Peaks of the south, didn't you?

Only way this could be better would be if it was over a Burbon chicken stand. Happy Pride!

That should be a thing....in recompense for having to put up with the neurotypical nonsense that most jobs are comprised of.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk!

Anyway, most of these traits come from the real life dog at the start of this thread. Gobi is gluttonous, an irascible flirt, questionable with authority, very family-oriented, and at his core an amazing little guy.

Family is wildly important to him, and he will often jam with the rest of the ShihTzu family band. Indeed, he met Peebles when he was with a Grateful Dead tribute band. He dozed off on stage during a guitar solo, she threw her harness at him and it was love at first sight.

And a lot of tattoos. No idea how that works with fur, but he's inked.

The entire ShihTzu family is progressive in the crankiest, crustiest, old-man-est way possible. Has been since getting back from 'Nam. He has.....spicy....opinions about law enforcement.

He, like my grandfather, enjoyed puttering with gadgets and will build the most absurd computers/adjacent gizmos. He has a refurbed palm pilot with so much other crap attached it's plugged into a box fan to cool it. He makes his own 8-tracks and betamaxes as a hobby.

He may or may not be wearing jorts...only Gramma Peebs knows for sure and that keeps the marriage spicy.

careers and personalities, backstories. He loves his good lady wife, a buffet, and may or may not be involved in "spicy" eco activism. His occupation is "retired", and he is the most retired man to ever retire. He owns an extensive collection of finely tailored obscene t-shirts.

Grandpa ShihTzu, or "GP" thus is a Vietnam Vet, married for eons to "Peanut Butter" or "Sweet Peebs" (Grandma ShihTzu). He hails from West Virginia, but his mother was British so him and his litter were raised in WV and the UK. He is 1 of 6 equally fat dogs, all of whom have their own longstanding

So we came up with the idea of an 80lb shihtzu named "Grandpa" and started tacking random ass traits onto him, gleaned from whatever we considered funny at the time as well as and amalgam of our actual grandfathers/gruncles.

He's fun to observe and narrate since he's got so much character. Years ago, @ingforart.bsky.social and I started joking that he needed a backstory and came up with the idea of Gobi's personality taken to its logical, if absurd, conclusion.

This is Gobi, our eldest. He is 15 years young and 1000% shihtzu in attitude. In reality he's a mix, but he had the personality of 10 dogs. I call him The Situation.

And gov has a higher than normal concentration of people who are morally "flexible" at baseline. Get them chemically altered ad it give them permission to be awful </personal theory>

I've never done *those*, but I suspect "in vino veritas". Most people aren't truly horrible, so maybe when they just trip?

Easy peasy: laws are for the poor, not the rich.
