I was getting the tissues.
Sir, this is a Wendy's!

Don’t
I’ll bring the lotion
For real I was getting futurama dog episode vibes… glad it wasn’t the case
But canonically, the Futurama dog waited like 10 minutes! Some time travel shenanigans overwrote the reality where he spends his life waiting. In the final timeline he got to live a few more happy years with his master 🥲
Just in case you weren't aware, that Futurama episode was loosely based on a real life dog that waited for his master at the train station every day for years after the humans death

They are too good for us and we don't deserve them, but I'm glad we have them in our lives.
Didn't even need to look at the link to know it was Hachiko!
I've been to Shibuya station and seen (and pet) Hachiko (the statue) a few times, always a weirdly melancholic experience
How long has this guy been putting off doing the dishes?
One day, spiders get it done.
We have a species of spider around here that rebuilds its web 3 times a day, for catching the different bugs awake at each period.
A balanced diet is important.
Most spiders actually rebuild their web at least daily. They eat it and put it back up. Otherwise it gets dusty and not effective.
They're the Amish of bugs

Long enough for "stainless" to not mean anything lol
They're Halloween decorations!
Now we need this but with a cat and the last panel reading “where the fuck have you been and where’s my damn food”
Do people who perpetuate this stereotype have cats? Because it seems like they don’t. My cat is psyched and affectionate as hell when I come home. All of my cats have been the same way.
Fully agree. Mine runs out to meet me, does the same arm stretch greeting, and isn't hassling me for treats or anything.
Mine also. He waits in the windowsill looking for me, and when he sees me coming he gets super pumped up and races to the front door
Once I set up a motion detecting webcam inside once when I had to go away for a day (32 hours to be precise lol). Looking at the footage later, I saw him pacing back and forward between windows, clearly pining for me. I’m sorry buddy!

I think a lot of people just don't know how to read cats as well as dogs. Cats can be very aloof but still very loving and most people just know how to read body language from dogs more than cats. Knowing that when a cat gives you that narrow eyed glare and slow blinking is actually a sign of affection is a good indicator that cats are just weird little things.
A lot of people also just treat cats as they would dogs and are surprised they don't get the same responses.
I have two. One of them is like this, the other one is more affectionate.

When my wife comes home from work, I tell her that the dogs are glad she is back from being gone forever again because she's gone forever and is never coming back every day.

"master"
I think they see us as family members more than masters
Yeah, “master/subject” is a bummer of a way to think about your relationship with your pet
I think they see us as gods. That's why they get so upset when we can't do what they expect us to do something magical.
Aww I think that's what you get when your object permanence is kind of tenuous.
Nothing quite as heartwarming as a dog who's SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AAAA after you've been gone for 30min – "aww I missed you too you goober"
When you forget your wallet and come back after being gone 2 minutes.
I was freaking about to cry at first haha. Well done. 💗
Right?! I was like "OH no. I haven't even finished my coffee yet. I am NOT ready to start my day this way!" 🤣
"The dog got in the food drawer again... and do the dishes!"
I just adopted a dog that was breeding stock in a puppy mill. She bonded to me right away but has major separation anxiety. Even if I'm gone for 5 minutes, she goes nuts when I get back and acts like I've been gone for months.
That made me think of That Garfield comic
That the Futurama episode.
I read somewhere that on average 1 day of our life equates to 1 week for our beloved pups. I think of this everytime I'm feeling too lazy to engage with mine.
That's as far as life expectancy goes, not in perception of time.
Fair point and I understand it. I simply meant that it is another data point that moves my emotions when I think about dogs general experience, like this comic highlights. Maybe too esoteric of a share lol.
