Nah, I’ve had doggy friends in various breeds and mutts over the years. I had a Great Pyrenees named Thistle, super friendly, and enthusiastic. Worked as a livestock protector, brave and faithful. But couldn’t understand the danger posed by the road in front of his farm, and thus was his lift ended, all too soon.
Opting out is easy. Come to Pixelfed, they sure as hell aren’t IG.
Yee, gads, what a dirty link. Thanks for the impulse. I hope your day is cozy.

Early in the pandemic there was a driver who launched their vehicle into a restaurant. And when I say launch, I mean up over an approximately 2 1/2 foot high curb. All the way into the restaurant, the driver was about to put 'er in reverse and back right out again. A quick thinking patron reached into the car, turned the car off, and pulled the keys. Someone described the driver as ‘unusually calm’. So yeah, striking without warning from the shadows seems fair.
Can confirm, useless.
