Monday Morning Cute: Dog vs. Deer

Posted on July 13, 2015 by wellsdc

This is how I imagine this conversation going down:

HELLO LONG-LEGGED DOG LET’S PLAY!!!

Dangit, dog, for the last time, I’m a deer, and I don’t feel like playing. I’m trying to eat this overgrown shrub.

You’re just gonna keep standing there until I play with you, aren’t you? [Sigh.]

YOU CAN’T CATCH ME LONG-LEGGED DOG I AM TOO FAST!!!

Since I got behind on my regular series here, consider this make-up work.

– Behold my steed: Old-school tech meets 21st-century bicycles with Trotify, a wooden device that makes your bicycle sound like a galloping horse (h/t Danielle).

Yes, this totally sounds like something someone thought of while high, but then actually got around to building while sober. Kudos for that, I suppose.

– Was there also show & tell?: You might not expect parents to be asked to attend a parent-teacher conference at their adult children’s places of work, but you’d be wrong if your kid works at one particular startup in New York City (h/t Jen). Continue reading →
