Someone had to do it, so I'll take one for the team.

You are extremely proud of your painting, eh? Okay Boomer!

I choose to believe that he's named after the Battlestar Galactica character, not the notoriously selfish generation that refuses to relinquish power or otherwise listen to anyone younger than 55 lol

This guy put two holes in the Old Man? Inconceivable.

There is no doubt that he's named for some cool reason, not because of the generation. Which is why I think my reply was funny. If he really was named “Boomer” because the owner thought it was the best generation or some bullshit, it wouldn't be funny, it would be sad.

I dunno, might be considered tragicomic 🤷

I‘m sure with that name, everyone‘s having a good time cracking jokes and Boomer‘s excited for all the attention they get, brilliant! (I know, they probably didn‘t name the dog after that but the result‘s the same)

Well, I know what my craft project for the weekend is! I'm gonna be making paw print art with my puppies!

When my cat died we got a plaster cast made of his paw prints, and it's something very special and dear to us. I'd like to do something like this before tragedy strikes, so it isn't so tinged with sadness.
