Thank you. Your last sentence means a lot, particularly with stuff I'm going through right now involving others (and old wounds reopening). The old dark thoughts of "what's the point?" come back.

But what is one to think when the universe -- for yet the umpteenth time in 2 years -- sends you monthly messages that you're too much, your feelings are too much, and that you need to become completely self reliant and alone. At what point is everyone else right?

Thank you. I appreciate you saying that. My nickname for him was Angel Face. He was the most beautiful of all the beautiful GSDs that I've had, and I miss him every day since I lost him in 2020:

Thank you. He was extra handsome when not covered in mud. LOL

In HIS opinion, certainly. *I* have very different feelings about that bath, lol. 😆😂😉

Main Coons are such stunners!! 😍🤩
I grew up in a Persian cat-only family, but Maines and the huge Norwegian Forest cats are my other two favourites.
I'm so excited for you. Cannot wait to see kitten photos!

Incredible. Truly. Back when I had cats, I had to give medicated baths/showers to an adopted kitten with mange & then to one of my own adult cats that got it, too.
Holy feline violence! My arms, face, and torso were attacked, lol. Bled everywhere.
Do you have photos of Waffles getting a shower?

Coincidentally, just yesterday, I think, I saw a Bluesky post all about a cat who got himself skunked. There was even a photo showing the most miserable looking wet feline, post bath.
Man, I can't IMAGINE trying to give a cat a decontamination bath (or 3 or 4). 😬😫😱 I'm glad yours stay inside!

It was the late Émile Zola (2009-2020), not Apollo, but I bet Apollo would dive at the opportunity if he saw a good mud pit, too, lol.
The clean-up was a nightmare. But the cleanup after Zola's encounter with a skunk (at 2 a.m. on my birthday, no less) was even worse. 😭😅

Seriously, look at how much my boy loved mud and what a mess he made of himself. His TEEFS are coated with mud, lol.

My late Émile Zola was a mud bath aficionado. One day at the dog park, following a hip procedure, he found the perfect one.
Clean-up time: Almost 2.5 hours. Grit lodged itself everywhere in that thick double coat.
Zola was never prouder of himself. (I miss you, baby boy.)

Though I'm not a fan of Hardy & though Tess was the bane of my life for a few weeks at 14, I'll always be grateful to Hardy for writing, in passing, words what turned out to be the perfect summation of my entire life, up to them & still now:
"Experience is as to intensity, not as to duration."

Caity, you beautiful girl you! See, you survived the water, bubbles, shampoo, and brushing; they didn't kill you. Bet you'll get extra cuddles and treats now, you floofy angel.

Spite, bile, and sheer pettiness, upped to the Nth degree in this incessant theatre of the absurd.
We can't take 3.5 more terrifying, horrifying, unlawful years of this.

It really is. I use it out of sheer spite. Not going to lie.

Simply spectacular shot. Thank you for the one glimpse of beauty I've had all day in this increasingly dark world. You're very talented.

Why won't the cheeseburgers, clogged arteries, and unhealthy living do something already??! Goddammit.

I hate him, I hate him so much that I lack the proper words to convey just how much.

Stephen Miller's fevered wet dream, you mean.
He certainly wrote this tweet. It has his hallmark, signature imagery and themes.

I have so many questions. (Like, Costco? Seriously??! Why not a Jiffy Lube card then?)
Alas, my bewilderment will go unanswered for I find that I do not care enough to give the asshole, collaborator, false equivalence-spewing, haughty arrogant NYT a click. F*** them forever and ever. Esp. Maggie H.
