AnimeIsTrash posted:I talked to him once while walking the dog and he was bragging about paying a lot of money to a breeder for them. That is the only reason I know they're pure bred. In the end, him having to deal with 2 huskies is punishment enough for all his crimes.

huskies are awesome dogs for running long distances and pulling heavy loads in cold weather the thought that anyone pays “purebred” levels of money to have them as house pets is just hilarious I feel bad for the dogs

AnimeIsTrash posted:I think i've said this before but one of my parents neighbors made off like a bandit during the obamacare website fiasco. He has a huge house, all luxury cars in the drive way, and 2 pure bred huskies. He also tried to get my dad to shovel snow off his driveway and sidewalks because he thought he was the help. Lmao was your dad getting the mail and this guy just ran out and told him to shovel his driveway or something?

I guess they’re the muscle of sled teams, but they aren’t as good of leaders as husky’s are, so you normally have a combo of both or yeah a mix breed between them. they were awesome dogs. they would pull us around in a sled in the winter and in a wagon in the summer, and my dad would take them on walks dragging tires full of concrete. he got them to pull him around on a skateboard too for awhile.

Going to ask my dad to put on a go pro and record his life. It's just going to be hours and hours of an old indian man staring solemnly at the raised beds in the backyard.

The neighbor was Indian and my dad is a lot darker skinned than the rest of the family so I wonder if it was some caste related thing. It was a strange interaction nevertheless.

I get annoyed when I call my dad and the only thing he has to talk about is the report on how much rainfall they've gotten in the past month, broken down by week, with updates on the rainfall in neighboring towns where other family live. "We only got a quarter inch in the first week of July but up at your grandma's they got a half inch." I also feel like it's the sort of thing I'll miss when he's gone so

a family in our dog's obedience class had the biggest poodle ive ever seen. the dad would take it on a ten mile run every morning and it was still bouncing off the walls. it only knew one trick: it'd sit up on its hind legs, the kid would point a gun hand at it, and it'd fall over. nothing else, no sitting, no rolling over, nothing

I also feel like it's the sort of thing I'll miss when he's gone so When I call my parents our conversations go like this: they ask me how I am doing, and proceed to ask 80 questions about how the the cats are doing. If the cats were people they would probably just tell me to hand the phone over to them.

I'm fortunate that my parents haven't fallen into that trap. They're not great about having genuine, open conversation, but if we veer into politics it's usually just bashing the people in their local republican enclave.PokeJoe posted:its an old man thing, my dad does this too. sometimes my mom puts water in the rain gauge to gently caress with him

my dad is almost 80 and calls me to ask if writing code is like looking into the matrix I’ve even shown him what code looks like and he still thinks I’m Neo which feels good but the downside is he also asks me what the dark web is or if an email about male performance enhancement is legit

oh i should also mention my dad does everything with excel. before he retired he was working for a paper based products company and he would take live data from the plant controls systems and throw it into predictive models he had built in excel using a VBA thermodynamics package he bought. he was able to find problems and fix them in 100 year old machines based on the model he built in excel. fuckin cool as hell.
