I genuinely gasped with excitement when I read this!
Emmett freaked out when I told him.
His roommate has a French bullie (Erwin), that Emmett adores. So he has been living with a dog the last several years. But still.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Ooh a dog?! What kind of dog?
We don't know! Your chicken nugget looks adorable.
Ple has made a good case for greyhounds.
Matilda has advocated for a pittie mix.
I love Nanita's dogs.
I think we'll have to see who needs a home when we're ready. It'll be a rescue.

Ugh. We're already hitting the first snag with financing.

I think we have finessed the issue. Fingers crossed. Knock wood. Rapid series of superstitious gestures.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I am in a big entirely wood paneled room so I think that’s counts for a lot of knocking.

Feel free to beat box your way around the room.

If you consider a German Shepherd then we work with a great rescue down here in Los Angeles.

I genuinely gasped with excitement when I read this!
My reaction was gasp and DOGGO!!!!!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Sorry about the COVID, Hec. I hope it continues to be mild, and that JZ and Matilda manage to duck it. Yay dog!
I have my evening meeting tonight, which goes 1.5–2 hours past my usual quitting time. I discovered this morning that my manager forgot I'd been attending them for the past year. Luckily I discovered this via a Slack chat so he didn't see the massive amount of side-eye aimed his way. And I got instant work cred. for a year of above and beyond.
In retrospect I wish this had come up closer to PEP season. Oh well, I'll be sure to re-remind him then.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have made it clear to both of them tonight that if either one of them EVER talks to me like the way they talk to each other I'm going to stay at Mom's and I'm going cancel/change passwords for everything I pay for. I also told M that we have to make getting our own place a priority.
I am super proud of you, askye! That was a hugely brave and important thing to do.
Just had a huge raptor come hang out in my front yard for a few minutes. I offered it a dove to snack on but the dumb doves showed a moment of self preservation. Much bigger than the usual Cooper's Hawk we usually see.
