Adult borzoi
It looks like somewhere along the way it caught the scent of a black hole.
“Remain wary of the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. Were it not for fear, death would go unlamented.”
“Seek the old blood.”
“Let us pray, let us wish… to partake in communion. Let us partake in communion… and feast upon the old blood. Our thirst for blood satiates us, soothes our fears.”
“Seek the old blood.”
“But beware the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. The foul beasts will dangle nectar and lure the meek into the depths.”
“Remain wary of the frailty of men…”
Apparently, a borzoi is a big dog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borzoi
I just read War and Peace for the first time last year. There’s a section in the book involving hunting with borzois, and the narrator mentions that one of the characters paid a family of serfs for his best dog. He didn’t pay money to a serf family - the cost of the dog was a serf family. Imagine that sort of bullshit if you’re a serf.
if i’m going to be sold for anything, a dog is probably the only option that wouldn’t make me feel miserable
so long as they take care of the good boy
i mean as much as anyone can be these days, yes?
not sure what about that joke is worrisome given the general standard online…
Giving my kid a borzoi puppy, then every day pinching his nose and tail and tugging on them a little bit, to convince my kid I’m stretching the dog out like taffy.
Borzoi’s are the sweetest dogs too. Like most sighthounds, they are very gentle/calm/lazy
I have never met a more gentle dog than an American Doberman Pinscher. They look big and intimidating, and I guess they can be if you’re their enemy, but they’re so very sweet and gentle with their family. They have such soft mouths and they’re so considerate and polite with their people.
