I misread ambushes as airbrushes.

The Australian Saltwater Crocodile’s voracious appetite is matched only by it’s delicate artistic sensibilities and deft retouching skill:
“It airbrushes most of its prey and drowns or swallows it whole.”
Is he available to airbrush the top of my ute? I was thinking the prism cover from Dark Side of the Moon. Or maybe some giant flames along the sides.

The “drowns and swallows it whole” thing probably makes that a bad idea.
I have to say, changing the word to airbrushing on that Wikipedia page wouldn’t really affect its accuracy very much. Whoever wrote that could definitely getting a job writing crappy scripts for Animal Planet shows.

Why, it sounds like you are mocking me and not at all sincere!
Two of my favourite pets, making a mess of MY bed.
Another one, sitting on MY couch.
Beautiful sheppy on what is now clearly his (?) couch. Shepherds quickly correct any misconceptions of who owns what in the house, I find.
Yes, his. That’s Ace on the couch, and Jack plus daughter on the bed.
Edit: Shepherds also don’t approve of bathroom privacy or sleeping past daybreak.

They are so extremely intelligent. They are both cute. Ace and Jack? How did those names come about?
I’ve never had a dog of any breed that did.
Jack came to us first. His pedigree name was Prince Jack something something and Jack just seemed like an ideal dog name; one syllable, easily shoutable.
Ace was our daughters choice. She really liked the idea of something that thematically matched with Jack. And again, it passed the ideal dog name test.
They are both cute.
To my eyes, Jack is the handsome wolf, and Ace is the cute one. But Ace still manages to scare people on the street. I don’t get how you can be scared of something that fluffy, but I guess that’s my owners bias showing.

I like it. Obviously that leaves Queen out there if you ever get a female. :)
It also reminds me of the coolest dog I’ve met in a long time, Deuce. He is the dog of a couple that my girlfriend and I met while traveling. I have no idea what his breed or pedigree is, but he is extremely intelligent and well trained and also very laid back. He is also gorgeous, with the type of fur coat and color that stand out in a big way. We tripped around with the couple and their dog around Asheville, one vacation. We met them randomly, and especially because we were so struck by how awesome their dog is. Deuce stuck my girlfriend and I both with such amazement that we still follow the couple on Facebook today, 6 years later. And strangely, though I forget the names of the couple at times, we both can very easily remember Deuce. That’s probably a sad statement about us both, but whatever.
For reference, here’s Deuce doing his thing. We now refer to him as ridiculously photogenic doggie: RPD.
I particularly like the second picture. Tongue out is always at least a 50% cuteness boost.

If I could steal any dog, ever, Deuce would be mine. It’s so crazy that occasionally you meet pets with gigantic personalities. I’ve always assumed that it was just good genes for the pet in question, but it’s the entire life they’ve had, training, treatment, etc. Deuce has fantastic owners.

That is indeed quite photogenic.

They go on and on … I feel like a dog pic creeper.
In comparison, our dog pics come out with our dogs looking either half dead or sincerely something only a mother could love.

Haha, there has to be a trick they’re doing. Deuce is not directly looking at the camera except for in maybe one shot. I agree though. Pet shots are so hard. They just don’t cooperate with what we want!
