Dear 2012,
I know we agreed December 21st, 2012, was when the world would end, but if you feel like ending sooner, please feel free. Anytime, really. We are all done here.
Sincerely,
People Working As Hard As They Can To Make Sure Everything On Earth Has Fucking PTSD

sadness neutralized?
shit.
Here ya go:
Can we call it even since I have PTSD from watching “Old Dogs?”
This makes me feel ∞ Sadness.
This is the best representation I have available for the deep and overwhelming sadness accompanying that video.
POTENTIAL ANTIDOTE FROM NOVEMBER: Dogs Welcoming Home Soldiers
Jesus, 3 videos in and I’m crying at work, My Boss’ Dog is looking around like why are these dogs crying through my speakers, and I need to go home and hug my dogs
Upvotes for you even though I’m half crying.
Did anyone else have emotional problems with the dog thing in I Am Legend?
This is when you wish Cat Stevens was still Cat Stevens so that he could write a song about how if every soldier could just walk a German Shepard around, the world would be a much better place.
Meanwhile, the only bombs that Birdie defuses are Gabe’s jokes.
YA BURNT, GABE!
To be fair, a 15-month tour in Iraq is really 105 in Dog Tours

Arguably, Gina is lucky to be a dog, without the complications of humanity on top of her PTS. The rate of troops committing suicide is frighteningly high, but Gina, being a dog, can neither ask for help for her problems nor feel shame for needing it, so she just gets it, and recovers. And it’s good; all animals who’ve been fucked up by people deserve such therapies. Compared to how many humans returning from combat with similar symptoms who don’t or can’t get help and end up killing themselves, this feels extra-sad. If the nice German Shepherd can do it, you can do it. Right?
As in the video, just take these dogs to the healing waters of Wal-mart
Dang, you observed it first. My b!
Guess that dog has it … wait for it… ruff?
Ahhhh?
Ruff?
Bah. Dogs have it easy these days. In World War 2: Worlder Warer, the Soviets (?) trained their dogs to run under tanks, and then would attach bombs to them, wait for them to run under enemy tanks and then explode the dog. Next time a canine starts complaining about doing their duty, maybe they should be reminded of how much worse it used to be.
“World War 2: Worlder Warer”
Genius.
I was undecided between that and “2 World 2 War”.
I’m still not sure if I made the right decision
Humans are awesome.
The dogs were trained to recognise tanks, but what the Soviets didn’t realise is that the dogs had memorised the distinctive shape of their tanks, so when the dogs were let onto the battlefield, they headed straight for the tanks they recognised, the Soviet ones.

Imagine if aliens conquered earth and made us all their slaves. Sure, they’d give us some exercise and make sure we had the proper nourishment (the same, bland fucking gruel day after day after day. Some of the aliens were really good to us and even though they could rarely understand what we were saying, we could tell they felt a special bond with us. Some of the other aliens would chain us up indefinitely and beat us mercilessly when we started to cry, or say anything at all.
Then the aliens started killing each other and made some of us go to one the most uncomfortable climates in the world to help them in killing other aliens. It was a terrifying experience. We saw alien children blown apart, their body parts littering the barren streets. Their lasers and plasma cannons made a wretchedly high pitched sound, unlike anything we’ve ever heard before. Those noises still haunt us to this day, and we doubt we’ll ever be able to wake up and not be terrified of anything and everything.
All because of the aliens.
Now imagine we still love the aliens more than anything.
I understand this analogy! Troops are the dogs, and the government is the aliens! Right?
I think what he is saying is that if the aliens smear peanut butter on their genitals and lay down there on the floor spread eagled then you are supposed to lick it off
Okay, now I really, really want to run home and hug my (landlord’s) pup.
Unneeded sharing time: This weekend, I was by the waterfront and hanging out with the best dog ever, Merlin, who, at all of six months old, was calmly letting three little kids pet him all over, and then went on to play frisbeen with all of them One kid, from Montreal, who couldn’t speak English, kept on leaving and coming back. Each time he left, he would give Merlin a hug and a kiss. At one point, he went behind his mother, who was also crouched down petting the world’s best pup, and whispered in her ear. She told me, “He wants me to tell you that we had a beagle, but he died three weeks ago.” This kid was awesome with Merlin, he was the one taking charge while they played frisbee, learned the English word “drop,” and would take up his leash when Merlin tried to wander too far. Leaving, I told the mother that he was really, really good with dogs. I so, so hope they get another one while he still knows how to behave with them so well.
You hang out on the waterfront with your landlord?
Haha, they are our upstairs neighbors and just awesomely rad people. We hang out reguarly, including a Star Trek fest last night (dooooooooooorkkkkks), but I also walk the pup a couple days a week because they are at work, and I just take their dog out with me whenever I feel like it basically, including this waterfront trip.
when you say “awesomely rad” is that the same as “hella rad”?
Ah. I see.
For some reason I pictured a montage of you and some old slumlord buying ice cream cones and throwing frisbees and rolling around with puppies.
Oh god, I said rad without even realizing it. I pick up language habits from people, and that one came from you. But yes, awesomely rad is the same as hella rad, which is the same as wicked awesome.
Chareth,
I plan on sharing this image with them, as they will love it, and generally love it when I call them slumlords (particuarly when I describe them as such to friends while introducing them). And, yes, actually, there are adorable little people who proudly think of themsevles slumlords all over my neighborhood.
Little People are allowed to own property in your neighborhood?
A dog is a healthy thing for a boy to have. I had a dog who was shook up because his old owner used to beat her. She eventually eased up after a few weeks of love,understanding and discipline. This is a very real problem that you can put a dent in if you adopt a dog instead of buying one. It’s also great exercise to just walk a dog a few times a day.
My dog runs and hides under the bed too but “he” is just a pussy.
People of Wal-Mart has videos now?
Seriously though, why are they in Wal-Mart?

This is one of my Dachshunds, and he is Bi-Polar.
This is him when he is nice…
And then he turns on you!
maybe you should stop punching him in the face?
Don’t let that pup fool you. He likes to be punched in the face.*
*DISCLAIMER: Neither my husband or I punch our pups, because that would just be mean.
So he is either not paying attention, or is in a homicidal rage? I think that’s just a dachshund!
It’s a homocidal rage. He will literally just attack my husband for no reason, because you’re right, it’s a Dachshund thing. However, my girl Doxie is extremely well-behaved.
I miss my dog.
This whole PTSD thing has spread to Australia as well.

I can’t watch at work (No Sound) but the real tragedy so far is that woman’s haircut at the end, Matilda or whatever. Yeesh.
