Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Somewhat related: there's a section in War and Peace where Tolstoy goes on about one character's prize hunting borzoi and mentions that the owner paid a family of serfs for the dog. I don't mean he paid money to a serf family for the dog - I mean that the price of the dog was a family of serfs.

Don't know what breed I figured Seamus was, but I don't think I would've guessed borzoi.

Fun fact, Borzois three dimensionality is held exclusively by the interaction of their consciousness and an external observer. When Borzois sleep, they collapse into their real 2 dimensional shape, until snacks or walkies are available again.

EDIT: Not to be confused with Borzoi's zoomies state. When over excited they spin up into a 4 dimensional moebius strip.

I owned 2 borzois; they're fabulous dogs. My vet used to take one home with him when she needed overnight stays.
