First thing we do is introduce everybody outside in the driveway on leashes, let them sniff around, then bring them inside on leashes and see how that goes, if there’s any tension the leashes stay on, and we have enough room to separate them if we need to.

About to hit the road but I can explain in more detail when I get back – the short version for us is that both the hounds and the cats have all spent most of their lives around many dogs, so it’s pretty easy, which makes us a good fit to foster. But there are techniques for those new to it.

That’s how she got her name – I can’t remember if I told this story before, but she didn’t have any identification when she was first brought in, and they didn’t think she would survive the night. The tech who came in the next morning saw she was awake and wrote BAD BITCH BETTY on her form 😭

So she was originally found outside Jackson, but she was in such bad shape that the rescue parked her with an experienced foster family that lived near one of their affiliated vets for six months before they would even put her up for adoption

Did I ever tell you my last apartment in LA was right down the street? I was spoiled rotten for dinner choices

People are pointing to this as some act of resistance. This is like 1% of what the most untouchable people in society should be doing to defend basic democratic principle against someone who is literally telling you to your face he wants to be a dictator.

The meanest woman I have ever met in real life has a trans daughter in middle school, and she’s never been a Republican of any kind, but even so I would be afraid to make unsolicited eye contact with her right now
