Garage hugs

Rigby would like to convey his appreciation that he was so well portrayed in a comic
- Rigby looks absolutely lovely. What a good boy!
- You have a budgie named Mordecai, don't you
  
  No….. but he is 100% named after that Rigby
  I’ve been thinking about getting him a kitten and it’s gonna be Mordecai if it’s a boy or Eileen if it’s a girl.
- BOOP THE NOSE

Anybody remember the Malcolm in the Middle episode where Reese joined a dog pack and started acting like a dog? The mailman showed up and Reese went to the window and started shouting, "Who are you? You don't live here?! Go away! Go! Go! Go!" Exactly like a barking dog. I think all those kids were underappreciated as actors. Although they're each worth like $10 million now. So okay, happy ending.
- Obligatory clip
  
  Thanks! I was remembering it wrong as "Go!" but 'What!" is a lot better.
- I have a dog and a five year old. The dog will, indeed, engage with the mail person; he won't bark, but he'll stand at the window and kind of huff.
  One time, he did so and my child also ran over to the window, asking something like "who is that?!" I jokingly suggested that the kid could help the dog to defend the property.
  Since then, whenever the kid notices anyone unexpected on the porch, they run to the window going "huff! Huff!" I haven't seen any delivery people react yet, but I have to wonder what they think.
- Malcolm's actor had to quit acting because all the drugs he did fucked him up. He literally doesn't remember Malcolm in The Middle. So yeah...
  UPDATE: Apparently he now claims his memory loss is unrelated to drugs and just like happened for no reason. I remain doubtful: https://www.looper.com/985780/the-real-reason-frankie-muniz-doesnt-remember-malcolm-in-the-middle/
  
  He's refuted this multiple times but this rumor refuses to die
  
  Wat?
  Frankie Muniz quit acting to become a race car driver, after winning a celebrity racing event while still doing Malcolm in the Middle. The series of concussions and mini-strokes he's had since then are well known. Where did you get the idea that he's ever had a drug problem?
  
  It is 100% possible that brain injuries can cause memory loss. On top of that the extremely stressful lifestyle of being a child actor and I'm sure trauma that came along with it. Hell I barely remember my teens.
  
  Where did you hear that?

I had a mini schnauzer who liked to bark (aka, couldn't help himself... he tried his best though, he was a darn good boy). But the mailman was, by far, his favorite to bork at through the window
My boy got out the front door one day (cold weather would cause the door to not latch properly) and ran across a busy street
The mailman was driving by, pulled over, grabbed him out from the middle of the road, and knocked on my door to bring him back (he recognized my dog from the window). I woke up to the knocking, bleary-eyed and confused, trying to figure out why my dog was being delivered to me. It took a second to put the pieces together, but I've never been so thankful... it was a very busy road and could have been tragic
My dog still barked through the window at this guy, as much as ever... but it was definitely now absolutely, his favorite "stranger" to bark at. That dog loved mail-time forever more lol

And that's why you should teach your dog to stop once you acknowledge the intruder and reward him with a treat.
Edit: I meant reward your dog with a treat.
- Why would I give an intruder a treat?
  
  Sorry, I meant to give the treat to your dog.

He protec

My chihuahua will become a little demon if any stranger gets too close to me. You can get close to him and he won't do shit and will, in fact, be super friendly, but you try and shake my hand or something and he will snarl and bark and snap at you.
- He's just angry the attention isn't going to him.
