gopro and a chest strap.

she’s too tiny for the dog harness they make!

ooblets is one of my favorite in this genre. it’s got a great soundtrack, the humor is spot-on, and it’s got an anti-capitalist message.

firewatch is a personal favorite.

“what remains of edith finch” and “gone home.” waiting for the right rainy day to play them.

i love both the physical and digital versions of this game. 🕊️

haha, no worries! i have three dogs total, so even i call them by the wrong names. ;)

echo unfortunately has a bum wrist, so she can’t do any sustained running without hurting herself. jean is the speed gremlin (but she rides in a backpack when i take her cycling).

she’s clearly the most popular of the bunch (and she knows it).

it’s the dogs! i love dogs, but having them jump through the window destroyed me.

if you want to know how to get back, pick a side (i chose left) and always put torches on that side going down. to come back up, keep the torches on your right. 🔥

the original resident evil. couldn’t even get through the first 15 minutes before i threw the controller across the room. i don’t play scary games anymore, but i love watching other people play!

silent hill was super fun to watch.

omg, i hadn’t even noticed that.

it’s such a fun event, and i’ve seen all kinds of dogs do it! as long as she has good recall at the end, i’d say go for it. :)

also: give them good things to bite! i always had toys handy when i had my puppy. (i do not miss those days.)

i was going to suggest guinea pigs, too! they might be too “rodent” for wife, but honestly they’re a lot more like smaller, low-maintenance rabbits. they have personalities for sure, and as long as you handle them from a young age, they can be picked up and hang out on your lap while you watch tv or whatever.

definitely do not buy a mixed breed dog. rescuing one is totally legit, though! or find a poodle or bichon through a reputable breeder if you want to go that route. some breeders have young adult dogs (2-3 years old) that are done with the show ring and ready for pet homes. if you go through a reputable breeder, they will always take the dog back if it doesn’t work out. if you go through a rescue, the same applies. some even have trial periods (the rescue i help out with does two weeks).

my dad bought a switch for his wife recently. neither one of them are “gamers.” i think they only play mario kart!

i’ve poured hours upon hours into this game. it’s just a chill game (if you want it to be), and it’s fun to keep track of stuff to collect, talk to the NPCs, and go fight some baddies occasionally.
