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.

Most pets adapt to your routine quickly, they've got a strong internal clock (just try moving their dinner time and see for yourself).

I've never had pets beg me not to go, but if they did I'm sure pretending they persuaded me would only make them think they can do it again and for them to try harder.

As Dwight Schrute would explain that Micheal explained to him: "we deceive them to not hurt their feelings, and in doing so, we honor them"
