Odin the Well-Armored plopped himself down in the middle of a massive thorn bush thicket with his paw on the leash, knowing I'd have a lot of trouble getting enough leverage to make him stand back up and finish the walk. #dogs #dogsofmastodon

my discord informs me that Paw Patrol isn’t even operating under color of law but is a private paramilitary organization which is a terrible piece of lore to learn at seven in the morning
