Spoiled Dogs Cafe

dogincarseatbelt.jpg

The world is this dog's spa.

Staring contest with a puppy.

Dog hot-foots it to avoid the dryer at his grooming sesh.

Dog-tossing.

Dog tango. But it looks like one dog is more interested in Dog Lambada (the forbidden dog dance), if you know what I mean.

Little dog has the cutest eyes but it's the smile that'll get ya.

This dog thought he got away with stealing food from the table. He thought wrong.

Gangsta sheep.

So cute: A street dog must have seen people exchanging food for green pieces of paper, so he picks up a leaf and offers it as payment.

Kittens struggling for pole position.

I've linked this before: this huge river monster is fast enough to almost catch a propeller-driven boat.

Dog gives another dog a ride.

Rescue dog gets her first dog-bed.

Inman:

Old pervert gets rekt.

White Karen, who I'm going to go ahead and assume is a leftwing bitch up to her gills in pills, tests out the theory that women are just as strong as men.

Using the PIT maneuver on a suspect fleeing on foot.

Cat wants to run away from home but dog says not on my watch, Cat.


These puppies return the Spa Day favor:

But maybe they deserve to be spoiled:

Poor doggo actually spits his treat up:

I know so little about hippos. IF he had caught the boat I assume he would have attempted to tip the boat (and probably succeed). But then what? Injure or kill the boat's skipper? And then what? Eat him? Or just take pride in a job well done?

19 Y'all want a spoiled dog? I'll give you a spoiled dog. It was my dog when I was a kid. *Everyone* spoiled that dog, because he was a very good boy.

My dad was always generous with leftovers. I once caught my mom cooking a little *steak* for him. But what takes the cake is random strangers.

This dog liked to roam. If someone left the gate open - which, being a house full of teenagers with numerous no good friends, happened often - he'd run. He'd wander about for several hours and then eventually come home.

Well one day, he got out and we tried to chase him down and failed, and had an appointment we couldn't miss. So my mom and I got into the car and left, assuming he'd be home when we got back.

Two miles away, up by the highway, we saw him. At a hot dog stand. Eating a free hot dog from the vendor. My mom stopped the car and I got out and called him. The hot dog vendor perked up and said, "oh, is that your dog? He's the best! What a great dog! I always give him a hot dog when he comes. He likes relish, but not ketchup."

Good grief that dog had a charmed life.

97 I know so little about hippos. IF he had caught the boat I assume he would have attempted to tip the boat (and probably succeed). But then what? Injure or kill the boat's skipper? And then what? Eat him? Or just take pride in a job well done?
Posted by: Crusader


Probably would have killed the human.

Then, the pride thing. Would not have eaten him. Hippos are vegetabletarians. They eat grass, mostly. Their name is Greek for "river horse," after all.

102 OT-and before I say goodnight

Just wanted to share that I had a lovely time with the ladies (and one gentleman) at the Bible study at the Senior center . We were looking at a passage from the Letter of James 5:7-11 which has to deal with patience. Afterwards one lady showed me a beautifully bound Bible with a leather looking cover and it was illustrated inside with lovely artwork. She told me that her first job at 18 was working at the phone company and she used some of her first check to buy the Bible. The Bible is about 72 years old and she is 90.Another woman-whom I hadn't met before- shared a book of poetry with paintings, both of which she had done herself. What a nice evening. It's a privilege to be with them.

Good night everyone!

I think Gen X is probably the last bunch that was raised this way and feels this way. It's not the younger folks' fault, though. Girl Power, Strong and Independent, etc. has been pounded into their skulls until they don't know any better.

Which is sort of hilarious when you think about it, especially in light of women routinely taking advantage of that social advantage where they can fearlessly say fighting words or terrible, humiliating public statements to or about men in front of crowds and men have always just been expected to accept it. (Men know that fists or other violence will follow if it's a man doing it)

That advantage is disappearing, and it's their choice. And it won't be like the movies. And it won't be easily or quickly fixed.

I am not obligated to take physical abuse simply because it is not "life-threatening" - whatever that means - and simple because the abuser lacks a Y chromosome. If a woman throws hands, she'll get hands. It's fairness, if nothing else.

Special protections for women - and they used to be manifold - were justified because they came with special obligations in terms of comportment and behavior. Women, by and large, have abandoned their end of that broader social agreement and thus are ineligible for my end of that agreement.

Should I be aware of my strength and make effort to beat her to death for hitting me? Absolutely. Should I refuse to hit back simply because she's a dame? No. Not anymore. If they want special privileges, they have to earn them.

137 The China AI images of what an American clothing factory would look like was a good dig, but it's actually going to look more like this:

post___.cc/3WyBhqLM
(AI generated)

Nowhere near as many workers sewing.
It will mostly be employees as loaders, machine monitors, programmers, mechanics, engineers, electricians, logistics, management, etc.

The factories of the future will not be filled with thousands of Chinese doing the same thing over and over.

They'll be the most efficient in history.
And the machines that run them will, hopefully, be made here, too.

Even the Chinese don't think that what they're doing will last.
They're already building factories like the one in the pic.

Wait until we see where 3D printing and other robotic manufacturing & solid printing tech will go in the next decades.
It's going to revolutionize manufacturing everything from consumer products to buildings.

Children - if they are, and this isn't one of those :6-foot, 17-year-old gangbanger who is "just a child" scenarios - should be restrained when possible, and struck only as a last resort.

But children are children. Women are adults.

Unless your argument is that women are children and need special protection - in which case, that puts us right back at the beginning. If this is so, then women's lib as a whole was a mistake because women are children and need to be controlled and thus have an end of the bargain they must uphold in a role other than free agent.

This will be all stores in such areas, and rightly so.

The stopgap measure of putting all the merchandise behind glass and making an employee come open it so you can deodorant or whatever is unsustainable. If this keeps up, the new stores are all going to be "catalog" stores. Go in, order at a kiosk, someone brings up your order from the back. Or order online and go pick it up. Same thing.

If "Service Merchandise" could have held on another 40 years, it would find itself back on vogue.

This IRS bitch has been a known problem for a while. A letter from a bunch of Democrat perverts in the Senate dated March 14:

Dear Acting Commissioner Krause, Acting Chief Counsel De Mello, and Secretary Noem:
We write about alarming reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has asked for unprecedented access to private taxpayer data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Elon Musk and his associates at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have also reportedly sought to cross-reference taxpayer data with sensitive personal data held by other
agencies that provide public benefits. We applaud the IRS’s rightful rejection of these broad requests for taxpayer return information, in accordance with Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code...

"welfare is just as good as a paycheck" is a big part of what got us into this mess.

Do jobs in garment factories suck? Yeah. Tedious, hard work that is not well very well paid. But that - working and getting compensated for it - is *much* better than welfare. There is honor in it, and therefore there is pride in it. And there is skin in the game, too.

Does Red China realize they're mocking their *own* factory workers with this, too? This isn't saying, "ha ha, the fat Americans can't sew in a factory like the strong Chinese men can." They may think it says that, but doesn't. This says, "factory workers are rubes and Americans don't like being rubes. You rubes, though? You love it, huh?"

Eh, sort of. Per my understanding (I never experienced it firsthand, so grain of salt), in a lot of "general stores" you would bring armloads of merchandise up to the counter. Maybe the clerk would help if you gave him a list.

This is a big part of what we're seeing the beginning of.

Women have always had unspoken social protections. They could say ANYTHING to men. They could say the absolute worse things you could imagine, in public, and men were just expected to stand there and take it. And men did, all while knowing that if a man said something even 1/4 as bad then there was an implied threat of violence and the man saying it was walking a thin line.

And that's changing, because young men and women have been taught - by women - that there is no difference between men and women.

You're right.
I don't know why I thought he lost.

But he did call the guy "pedo guy".

This was interesting:
One of the smartest moves by Elon Musk's defence was in introducing the concept of "JDart", an acronym to describe their client's conduct on Twitter in relation to the infamous "pedo guy" tweet.

A JDart, lawyer Alex Spiro explained, meant: a Joke that was badly received, therefore Deleted, with an Apology and then Responsive Tweets to move on from the matter. JDart.

It's clumsy, for sure, but it meant Mr Spiro could offer the jury here a degree of structure around what before seemed senseless: Mr Musk may have acted foolishly with the J, but he soon "darted", which is how you know he wasn't being serious about the allegation.

Expect the JDart "standard" to be applied again and again, not just in libel trials, but in any arena where social media behaviour is under scrutiny - a parachute for anyone who, in the heat of the moment, says something idiotic online.

287 Last year sometime I decided to stick my nose into somebody's business because I realized they were misbehaving because they had not been taught to be decent. A couple of tweener girls were sampling cosmetics that were NOT testers and putting them back in the display. I asked them why they were using items that were not theirs. They gave a response that indicated they had no concept of respecting reasonable boundaries. What was important to them was that their desires and curiosity should not be denied. (They did at least stop and leave the cosmetics area.)

Well, last time I was in the cosmetics area, I saw that everything is now locked up behind glass. On the one hand, now I have a chance to buy items that have not been opened -- often, I will find the tamper-evident seal on every single bottle of toner has been opened. On the other hand, locked cases are a sign of loss of a high-trust society. Tolerating behavior like that of the tweener girls is partly responsible.

Want a guess? My guess is one of two things:

1. "Just one of the boys" - you were engaging with him like a dude would, and so he misread it as a signal. When you corrected it (per your post), he backed off. Probably confused basis.
2. It was flirting. He thought you were cool, and were into him, and shared a masculine common interest, and so he tried a masculine move in response. Misread it as a signal. When you corrected it (per your post), he backed off. Probably confused basis.

Same proximal cause, different distal cause. Again, just a guess based on your post. I could easily see either.

He was a bit tubby. "Outrunning" Karen probably wasn't in the cards.

I suspect it's like the Shopping Cart Test. None of us are going to suddenly go out and randomly hit Tanya or Shaneequ'aa, no matter how masculine and loud and aggressive they're being.

(this guy didn't either, btw)

The problem will be the young people being raised by Tanya and Shaneequ'aa. They see no problem with it, same as they see no problem carrying a hunting knife in a backpack and stabbing someone who opposes browsing through others' duffel bags.

And Tanya and Shaneequ'aa aren't bright enough to understand what they're doing to that social order.

Our town had a big Wal-Mart early. I remember the big, big banner declaring "Everything made in the USA."

That ended after Sam died (or whenever the kids took over), and suddenly all manner of quality goods were no longer available, replaced if at all by cheap junk. This, of course, after Wal-Mart drove other local establishments out of business.

What blew my mind the first time I went to Rogers was the number of office buildings ringing Wal-Mart's campus, with *really* big consumer brand names on their walls - like Johnson & Johnson and Procter and Gamble.

I asked about it. The answer I got really underscored how big and important Wal-Mart is. The guy (he worked at Wal-Mart, in IT infrastructure, which is the reason I was there) said, "they didn't used to be here. We used to always go to their HQs. A while back, our board decided that it was too wasteful of time and money and that we should either open offices near them and staff them, or they should open offices here and staff them. They opened offices here."

Wal-Mart told the likes of J&J and P&G to open offices in Rogers for Wal-Mart's logistical convenience, and they did. *That* is power.

Yes, it's used to overwhelm a civil western society because most of us normal people are not like that. Don't want to be like that. We are not animals who live by force. They are.

So all that post was, Jack, was a self-serving "this is why I was so damn loud in how shit used to be" before you admitted, at the end, that I was right about how things are now.

Feel better ?

373 There was a Jackass episode where Johnny Knoxville subjected himself to being tased, getting hit with those beanbags fired from a gun, and being pepper sprayed. He said the pepper spray was by far the worst pain he ever felt.

I don't expect all brands of pepper spray are created equal.

374 By "conservatives" that still espouse it's always smart to walk away. Do you walk away from your car ? Your business ? Your house ?

The other side still understands one thing. That "your" side still idolizes the virtue of not fighting.
Posted by: Taking Notes

Not fighting is a practical choice. It can indeed be considered a virtue, but pragmatically, opting to engage physically with another person can lead to you ending up six feet under, suffering severe brain damage, or doing serious time in the gray-bar hotel. If one can walk away from a brewing conflict, do so.

377 I must have dreamed those Walmart "Made in America" ads back when Sam was still alive.
Posted by: Emmie at April 08, 2025 09:25 PM (Sf2cq)

Ads are just corporate propaganda. So, yeah, of course they played up that some of their stuff was made in America while mainlining Chinese products into Small Town USA.

379 Leftists depend on herd mentality, and exploitation of decent, peaceable people’s willingness to compromise, avoid conflict, and go along to get along. They have it literally down to a science.

You're equal now. Equal pay. Better admission to college and such. You need a man like a fish needs a bicycle.

So when you, or your sisterhood, get cross with a man ? I'm over here in my corner, drinking my beer and minding my own business. As you wanted it. Right up until you didn't.

-

This is an interesting point.

Post-2020, should men assume women will hit them or otherwise physically engage? Because up until now the female trash talking has always had a different goal. But if men are to assume non-feminine women are fist-fighters now, then that changes the interactions between men and the majority of women.

382 If someone is punching you in the head choosing to walk away just doesn’t seem right. Sorry.

No it wasn't, Scogg. You just have a 4th grade comprehension level.

Nobody ever said time stands still least of all me. And no, you are not always right much as you like to think you are.

We have a whole subculture of people who live among us. Most of them not boomers. And they play by different rules. I will adjust to theirs when necessary. Not all that complicated.

Posted by: JackStraw at April 08, 2025 10:03 PM (LkLld)

384 I won’t bother your.

Promise.

I was having a fun sportsball conversation and he punched me in the arm. I’m not a dude in a dress.

Not ok.

In the macro sense - when someone else wants to take from you by force ? You'll either resist - or be taken.

Oh, I get it. You're still posting as if police or some other authority will stop the taker from taking from you. Good luck. Except lets be honest, I don't care if you have any luck at all.

You get what you get. Make your practical choice.

Walk away.

Didn't see any "lady" in the vid. Just a bitch. Don't start none, won't be none.

It's a fine line. The overtly aggressive women are not usually a threat and restraint is best. Within a crowd you have to be on the look out for pile ons. The most capable women won't be looking to start none.

It's expected for them to say daft shit about oppression and genocide.

It's a long-term affliction they've been living with since they were joined at the hip so long ago with those evil English cvnts they despise.

The Canadians have the same sorts of problems with Quebec.

Remarkably, you managed to create a response that had nothing to do with what I actually wrote, with an inclusion of reading my mind. That is an achievement most rare.

We're doing the thing, for some definition of WE, regarding a woman jumping on you claws out like some do regarding a self-defense shooting, or a good beat down on an burglar.

Let me make this simple. If you think its just awful to hit a woman putting her claws into you ? Don't then. I don't care. Let her pull out your eyeball and show it to you.

But I won't. And I don't care what you think about my response. And living with me in your society is easy. Just teach your girls to keep their hands off me. And your boys, for that matter. We'll get along just fine like that.
