This one has given me the most shivers so far for some reason.

I’ve seen dogs do this. It’s gotta be their near-supernatural sense of smell, right? Like, they get the tiniest of particles filtering up through whatever tiny gaps, and that’s enough when it’s someone they know really well.

Pretty certain that’s one of those fake-democrat trolls.

Someone posted pics of 3/4 on another article...yup.

I used to love their cover of Jenny (867-5309) back in the day.
