An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Drank some coffee while the dog romped in the first snow of the year. Made him come back in when he started a bark party. Too early for that.

If I tell him to, he knows to stop at the mat just inside the patio doors so I can get down on the floor and dry his feet off with a dog-specific towel thing we have. He loves getting dried off.

He also loves his mama.

There's an old gif of a small terrier coming in and cleaning his paws on a mat. Sounds like you've trained your pup similarly. Pretty impressive!

He's actually trained himself in a few ways. When he was little, he would charge the food dish as we were putting food in it, and we would tell him to "wait." He decided that the place he should wait is on the mat by the patio door (about ten feet away), and he still does that, without anyone telling him to. Food container opens? I go sit on the mat until "There's your food."

Haha, that's awesome!
