Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

She's lovely! I'm interested in her DNA but she's 100% possibly Best Girl.

I have a kitten on her being significantly something beyond husky and shepherd (while having a bunch of percentage of them) but cannot for the life of me figure out what.

She looks like some local strays. I can't figure them out either.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm dithering over names. If I got a boy dog, I was thinking about Brasso or Kino -- both Star Wars names, from Andor. But I don't love the female names (Marva, Bix, Dedra), so I'm thinking about Star Trek instead. My favorite Trek right now is Lower Decks.

So: Tendi? Beckett? Mariner?

Tendi is too close to my brother's dog, who is named Twende (Swahili for "let's go"). Personality-wise, she's closer to Tendi than to Mariner, but still: it's a more stealth Trek callout than one of the other characters from the live action shows.

Oh, wait, there's also Tilly and Kira...

One of those, I think.

Our wings are not tired.

I love Tilly!!

I have a niece (well, cousin’s daughter who’s more like niece) named Kira for ST.

I'm thinking seriously about Tilly.

(I still love Mariner but I think she may be more of a Tilly anyway...)

Mariner is a great name but I’d end up calling her Marnie because three syllables and I’m lazy lol.

She’s so cute!!!!

Very striking eyes indeed!

I have been on a road trip since 1pm, and we are still almost 2 hours from our destination. Oh dear. But I am not driving. I am however DJ, a responsibility I take seriously, so have been keeping the vibe going.

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

She would make a most excellent Tilly. Huzzah!

(The most recent amazing race has made question what it says about a society that lets a word like huzzah fall into disuse. Nothing good I’m sure.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like Tilly as a girl dog name. Bix would work better as a cat name, although I’m sure I’d change it to Bixie almost immediately.
