This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Kukur Tihar, also known as "Day of the Dogs,” is a Hindu festival in Nepal dedicated to honoring dogs.  It falls on the second day of Tihar, a five-day Hindu festival celebrated around October or November. 

On this day, people worship dogs, decorating them with garlands and applying vermilion tika (a red mark) on their foreheads. Dogs are also offered food and treats

I love my.cats but loyalty is not their strongest trait. They would never attack someone to defend me, they would atack just because they want or run and hide lol

Lol yea as much as I love my fat idiot, he's old and would rather get pets from a killer than fight anyone.

He's very loving but he's not a fighter. He's only ever reacted negatively to one sears repairman. No idea why.
