It's fine. Not that you need to know, but she's in good health; she's just a biggish dog and turns 10 this year, so I'm starting to steel myself for the decline.

She'll almost certainly be dead by then, but hope springs eternal.

My dog was afraid of stairs. She got over it and she's a fucking dog.

Who are you to say that avoiding syphilis wasn't just like Nam?

People want to portray him as this swinging dick tough guy, but the dude is doing his level best to let us know he's a hothouse flower.
