Thought of @Synthese today, when I was out walking the dog.

Three of the guys posted by me a few years back have passed away...ages 17, 16, 13.

A new addition to our now two dog family. Meet Max.

Hey guys, I recently adopted two loco chihuahuas, one long-hair and one terrier mix. Not the super tiny ones, more like the ones that can still pull you off the sidewalk. As a former cat person, I totally get the dog love now. I need some cool leashes and harnesses. Like nice climbing rope with cool leather detailing and hardware. Any ideas beyond chewy.com?

You need something like this one my wife hand embroidered and embellished. It's a really tough look for when you think climbing rope and leather is too "soft"

Speaking from experience: start with something like Lupine, so that you can get a replacement if and when you discover that they like to chew their leashes and collars.

This is Mocha. She is one of the six dogs that we adore and cherish.

I love it when this thread pops up.

Koji turned 5, Keiko remains unimpressed with dope threads.

Thanks! That's a good idea esp. since one of them already chewed through a "soft crate".

Hahah! Dogs can be dark and moody too! I was actually worried about getting dog hair over everything in my house. Turns out, it does get on everything... but I don't care! Because dogs are so great. So, yeah, I'm on board with the good side now. Also I just ran across this from a FT article on Yohji.

Given his aesthetic, it’s easy to picture Yamamoto’s Tokyo HQ as a cross between the Batcave and a Tadao Ando fallout shelter. The reality, sitting waterfront between the gleaming buildings, escalators and Starbucks of the city’s equivalent to the Docklands, is more upbeat – a big, bright space filled with vintage wooden chairs and racks of fabric samples, and humming with positivity and industry. Yamamoto arrives, his black layers flecked with dog hair. He lights a cigarette and laughs as I tell him about the coat I bought last season from his Conduit Street store – my most ruinous fashion purchase in years. “You think my clothes are expensive?” he asks rhetorically, with mock horror. “More expensive than what!? The fashion industry is walking off the edge of a cliff. People want to pay nothing for clothes, and throw them away quickly. I hate that. We keep on making our work by hand, and the human hand has become the most expensive thing in the world. These clothes take a long time to create. The price of my merchandise might not be cheap, but it’s… reasonable.”

Not my dog, but very close.

@Synthese why'd you pick the names Koji and Keiko

@Synthese why'd you pick the names Koji and Keiko

They were both adopted young, so we chose names that we liked, that fit them, and also sounded similar to the names they had. Unless you mean "are we weaboos," to which the answer is "maybe."

 

[nahneun]

what were their original names?

Eko on the eve of the great eclipse. Shortly after this photo was taken, he got into blue green algae in the water and nearly died. We rushed him to a hospital and they flushed his system in time. Be aware of this stuff, it grows in slow moving or still water late in summer and it can kill a cow off one drink.
