Moose and Moose-Sized Dogs Cafe

Grassington, North Yorkshire, UK
@davezphoto

Moose moments.

Compilation of dogs being silly. Begins with a very dramatic dog screaming about getting his nails trimmed.

Talking parrot gives uncanny valley vibes.

Watch cat.

Baby squirrel with paralyzed back legs is taken in by kind couple.

I would never. I don't think I have any claustrophobia, but this is nightmare fuel.

Horse meets dolphin.

Big chungus oak tree.

Monkey popcorn party.

Radio-controlled tank has got some horsepower.

Stag gives a couple of warning huffs.

Last week's eclipse.

Humanoid robot "Superman" breaks Usain Bolt's record. Not good at stopping, though.

The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a livestock guardian dog native to the countries of the Caucasus region and one of the world's largest dog breeds.

2 I love the photo of Yorkshire, Ace. My father's ancestors are from there and had sheep (based on our surname in the Domesday Book). Windy apparently.

4 About the sidebar stuff, ace, from the last thread:

>>> On the sidebar -- I said that zodiac story was a load of crap at the time.
And what is chromatic aberration? I don't recall that at all.
Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at August 18, 2026 06:58 PM (/h0Lb)

Yeah, I'm curious about that too. I'm sort of an expert on chromatic aberrations myself. Only because my eyesight is dogshit and I wear thick high index of refraction polymer glasses to squint at the world Mr. Magoo style. I'm looking through quasi-prisms when I have glasses on, basically.

The aberrations occur on any object not directly in front of me. And the aberration increases the more I go off axis. Things shift colors depending which side they're on/refraction angle. And that also screws with depth perception because some aspect of comparative color is also used as by your depth senses. No problem with contacts which I prefer.

8 That shepherd dog is just too big and expensive to be practical. You want them to be cheap enough to have several of them so they can worry at some big predator coming at your flocks rather than eat up your flocks for dinner himself.

30 From previous - DeGaulle got "quiet" about repatriated gold, because he had sent a battleship to pick it up from the New York fed.

Very French thing to do, though can't really blame them I suppose. The London gold exchange collapsed soon after, by 1968 a two-tier pricing mechanism, culminating in a closing of the "gold window" where the dollar could be exchanged for gold at $35 an ounce in 1971. A "floating currency" ever since.

There's nothing more touching than watching a Veterans Class (for dogs 7 and over) at a specialty. Whereas in regular competition, applause is considered just plain wrong, it is expected that the spectators will clap and cheer every veteran competing.
