Cute thread, I need your help. My wife and I just adopted a dog a few hours ago, and we're stumped for a name.

He's a chihuahua, originally from California. He was a stray before the shelter picked him up, and then he was shipped up to the Toronto Humane Society. He's light brown with a white stripe down his chest, and a snaggle tooth. He's been super happy and affectionate since we brought him home, but we can't think of a name for this little guy. Any suggestions?



Name him Tlayuda.

Normally I'm not the biggest fan of April Fools but I gotta give props to Guild Wars 2 this time.



Basically every single player character in the game has their arms outstretched like that and make airplane noises when they run, also I wasn't wearing that pilots hat, it just showed up on my character model, oddly enough what I was originally wearing is over it, also the grin over the character's face.

There's also like a filter over everything now, some people have one that makes it all grainy and with no colors like an old film, mine has colors but still looks like an old tv, the sound is different to like its monaural.

Really awesome joke overall, as an old fart this put a smile on my face from when I was a kid.

Edit: Apparently when you die you get old timey piano music instead of the usual somber theme.

Hunter is pretty cool and does a lot of stuff for women's sports. He and his wife produced and funded one of those #LikeAGirl ads using female wrestlers from the show he's in charge of, NXT. It's the only WWE show where women are treated as equal wrestlers as the men

We have a lot of really cute critters. Here are some pics of me and Out of Band II when us and our kitties were stupid kids in a crap apartment.




If the glass contains water instead of milk, Walter just tips it over and walks away. He's named after a bad guy from the Dark Tower.




Helena is cute as gently caress and nothing will convince me otherwise.


Davey really liked napping with us when he was little. Now he's just a big fat surly thing but we love him. He's blind in one eye.




Charlie sleeping with my drop spindle. She and her sister Wolff really, really love wool. I have to fight to keep them out of my llama fluff.


We love the gently caress out of these guys. All of 'em are rescues but Walter and Helena.

When I was a kid I read a book about a girl growing up in Depression-era Australia who loved drawing, but her family couldn't afford paper just to draw on, so she always looked forward to her mother buying bacon, because instead of wrapping it in newspaper the butcher would put it in a nice smooth paper bag that was really good for sketching on.
Specifically, it said she looked forward to her mother buying bacon not because she liked it - she didn't - but because of the bag.
And even as a very small child I was like "What the gently caress. I understand about needing a creative outlet but who on earth doesn't like bacon?"
Not that I'd try to sneak it into someone's food if they were trying to keep kosher or whatever the case might be. I will just quietly feel compassion for the baconless state their convictions require.
Speaking of bacon (and for Easter), have a tiny piglet snuggling an enormous grumpy bunny.

We adopted a feral kitten, Meket, right before Christmas. He's still shy with people, but has found himself a BFF in Miss Mercedes. He waits at the door for her to come inside so he can be with her, winding through her legs and batting at her puffs. Their favorite game is tag, and their favorite time to play it is between 2--4 AM. The cat tree is his 'safe'; hers is the bed, which she sails into despite those lumpy humans being in the way.

Well Maru is special and magical. Although he's technically a Scottish Fold he doesn't have the characteristic folded ears. I also get the impression from all the videos and photos of him playing energetically that he doesn't have the painful joint problems that many Scottish Folds experience due to inbreeding.
And of course his baby sister Hana is just a mutte catte. I love their relationship. See if you can find Maru in this picture.

This. This is exactly how my dog is. I came back home after my fifth or sixth deployment and took a month of leave. So my dog, Stella, is super excited because now she has this whole month with her human. Finally my first day back to work comes, my alarm goes off and the first thing she did was spring up and lay on my chest. She clearly made it known she was not having me leave again.

Best. Dog. Evar.
