THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE THREAD WHERE I INTRODUCE YOU ALL TO MY EXCELLENT NEW PUPPY HENRY (Edit: RIP February 2017)

WHY HELLO DERE

someone told me I should set him up with a "dogbook" page, but i feel like i might be able to save his innocent soul from web 2.0 socialized marketing for the time being.

he's so cute, he would crash dogbook

marmaduke's IQ is 80

omg, awesome

I think you do that, re: web 2.0, except possibly Henry should take over answering questions on the "ask a puppy" threads

right now he would mostly answer "hey lets poop!"

lol @ his gigantic paws

yah he is going to be a bruiser

Hi Henry!

omg

Hi, Henry. I'm Austin.

henry would like to join you all in your living rooms and eat your paper towels:

(sorry to peeps that have been following the chronicles of henry and have seen these pics before btw)

right now he would mostly answer "hey lets poop!"

this would be 100% in keeping with the spirit of those threads

sort of like how if you went to a dog psychiatrist he would mostly say stuff like "and how did your butt smell when that happened?"

John, that is an ugly little brute and you have my sympathies.

(j/k, he is v.v. cute)

Oh my gosh Henry is a wonderful dog that has stolen my heart with cuets!

he'll do that.

today was his first experience as shop dog, and he has greatly soothed my worries by sitting through a crappily played blistering loud death metal guitar tryout and afterwards giving me a head-cocked "so what was that all about?" expression.

If only you could keep him this small & cute - e.g. daily trimming, like this:

i have to pick out an AKC name, but despite how funny it seems at the moment, i'm pretty sure that they would frown on N0rthf0rk's Gropecunt Lane.

xpost: i am curious to see how much weight he has gained in the 4 days since we got him at the vet tomorrow.

btw, you need to post new pictures

I have to say that internet people who don't even know john justen have contacted me personally to tell me how cute his dog is. I may steer them to this thread.

yeah i know. they are sitting in my camera at home now, and the various picture takers of the last day or two dont seem to have posted any of theirs on the internet t ( o_o t)

xpost we will continue our attempts at more frequent updates

I am picturing his 'so what was that all about' expression and it's all I can do not to go buy a puppy right now.

What type of dog is Henry?

Henry's Mollification takes a Lingday

when he reaches a decent age in dog years, you should totally start calling him "hank"

or maybe just when he hasn't been to the groomer in a while and is getting sort of shaggy and hank-like

let me say again, omg

Henry is a Bernese Mountain Dog.

xpost - oh hes totally going to get called hank, that is part of the master plan of the name

j0hn check your email!

Harry. Not Hank.

This should be obvious!

goole - responded.

noted former ilx internet superstar Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows has visited and given an unequivocal vote of awesome to Henry. he also almost ate some of henrys treats because they look just like oyster crackers.

uh oh i feel a Will Drink It coming on

oh come on, you know he almost ate them because he eats doggie treats

I just really, REALLY want to hug this puppy. (Also, how could you not know that FB eats dog treats after all these years? I could have told you that in 1989.)

THAT IS INDEED AN EXCELLENT PUPPY

oh look:

if you gave the head about a 15 degree tilt to the right, that is facemelting guitar solo reaction.

dude that one looks like you

There is a mean streak in his eyes. But you know you will forgive him anything.

MORE FEETS MORE FEETS

Seriously, his paws are amazing.

I think he's foaming at the mouth in that last one. But it's cute foam!

sorry about the footlessness for the puppyfoot fans out there, but more forthcoming.

BEAUTIFUL!

His little pink tongue is adorable, too!

i am dying with affection for henry. he is everything i have been looking for in a canine companion.

Well it didn't stop raining for long

i think i just died

also: i didn't realise that lady bernese mountain dogs are smaller?? there's one on our street, she's so pretty and dainty.

such a cute couple

has henry proposed or are they just taking things slow right now?

PEDO

With friend Millie post walk and romp and barking and good times

To clarify, both of the things in this picture are taxonomically in the category of "dogs". Which is as adorable as it is conceptually impossible.

pet threads are the best.

Update requested

RIP sweet pooch

I am so sad about this.

Haven't seen this thread before, but sorry for your loss. Looks like a beautiful friendly dog, and sounds like you had happy years together.

edited the thread title because I didn't want people popping up for new pics and getting blindsided

What happened? I know BMDs don't have a long lifespan compared to smaller breeds, so was it in keeping with that?

aw man, condolences

x-post - He said uptread "fuck cancer" so I assumed that. Oh, JJ my heart breaks for you.

condolences jjj - what an awesome dog

oh no no no no

So very sorry to hear this, heart breaks for you J

RIP Henry, ILX Hall of Famer

Rest easy in the arms of the great lover of all dogs Henry, your thread gave me joy in this world. Condolences to you John.
