It sucks when dogs get fat. My grandparents have a Collie that's overweight. Every time they try to put her on a diet she freaks out and starts acting a fool. She ate half a bag of flour in November.

This dog ate a whole roast once. Mom had it out on the counter after she cooked it.
Dog came in, got it and when he got caught with it, gulped it all down at once

I really recommend it. He examines the life cycle of great empires and what each had in common at each stage. Average age of empires comes out to about 250 years

They lost it before that defending DeBeers diamond monopoly. Let the Zulu's with spears and goatskin shields kick their arse. It was like their Vietnam but it was followed by economic panic financing the war. Granted it took another generation to fully fester in the British government and economy before the panics of the late 1800's and early 1900's did them in.

So you're blaming Disraeli?
I agree.

The dog has a taste for tobacco and for Red Man, the chewing tobacco specifically. It will jump at the smoke coming off a cigar trying to get a taste. I don't know where its addiction came from

My youngest shepherd does that with cigarette smoke. Not sure why. Also chases smoke at bonfires. Can get annoying.

The dog has eaten cigarettes before. I don't know what it is. He's been like that since he got brought home.

If not then, definitely after I asked the Jewish kid in school what it meant when you blew out the menorah and he sperged and yelled at me

I still don't know. He never told me and I haven't bothered looking it up
