Anyone ever read Shakespeare??? Just wondering

We were going to, in Catholic school, but my class found Chaucer so offensive we refused. Got assigned something else. My DD was reading Romeo and Juliet to me this past semester and we wrre both scandalized. Guess we are a family of prudes.

We read some of Canterbury Tales in HS! No doubt carefully selected, but still...
'Crime and Punishment' was horrifying, and we read/ discussed it page by page. Awful!

There is no TRY. There is only do or do not.

Ok Yoda.

Thanks! We think so too lol and they’re not really sure. He’s my brother’s dog and a rescue. They used a different DNA test with him than they did with the other two (which we think theirs were pretty accurate) and it was super weird. It said like German Shepherd, Rottweiler, pit bull, like fox hound???, I think it said Golden or Lab maybe? And just like all this super weird and random stuff that they don’t really believe except maybe GSD and retriever LOL so who knows! Mystery mutt but I’m like... he’s def not hound and all those breeds are short hair too except a couple so wouldn’t he be shorter hair? So we don’t know lol

They originally thought he was Newfie/Lab or Pyre. He does seem to have webbed toes so

He was a lot fluffier as a little puppy haha

He’s a bit of a mystery but so so sweet

Oh, I think I see Golden retriever in him. And black Lab. But yeah, definitely DNA soup! He's a cutie anyway. I found a dog once that, to look at, you could just see Australian shepherd and Rhodesian Ridgeback, but when I put a leash in him, suddenly it was obvious from his reaction that he was a wolf hybrid. I mean visually you never would have thought so! But when I found the owner, I asked, and he said, "Australian shepherd, Rhodesian Ridgeback and wolf." So you can't tell by looking.

Yeah I definitely see those ones too! Or at least one of them and maybe the other breeds made him black or who knows lol and wow that’s crazy!! You definitely can’t tell by looking! Haha Libby looks a lot like a Lab and I personally think hound, she’s got the big goofy hound ears and stuff but supposedly doesn’t have any in her lol but she’s got the huge boxer smile, the deep square chest like one, the front socks/markings up the legs like one, and acts just like one... big, goofy, playful baby even at over 2 years old lol and super sensitive and pouty just like one yet supposedly she’s only like 12.5% or something. Genetics are funny LOL

Franklin acts so herding breed like lol whether that’s collie or Aussie idk. But so so fast and very vocal. But he is like half so makes sense

Public schools teach kids now, to call police. Crazy life this world is coming to!

Maybe it's well written, but the whole plot sounds stupid to me.

Lol. I found The daVinci Code series to be Harry Potter for grown-ups.

 

[Folly's place]

I do like the Harry Potter series!

That's a good start ... but doesn't even come close. Gemzilla is the evil-eye master, even better than my Evie when she's broody ... and that's saying something! Gem was such a sweetheart before the "Mama Bear" thing happened. I don't know if I'll ever let her hatch again. She's a great Mama, but the little bugger's dangerous!

What is she? Only my 3 BO ever go broody, and I reach into the nests every day to take eggs out from under them and they don't bat an eye.
