So, I'm watching a show on pregnant pets on Nat Geo Wild, & I want to shake all these owners: 'Here, let me risk my pet's health because I'm anthropomorphising my need to have children'. Except for the poor lady who had been told she had all male guinea pigs until she had baby guinea pigs.

Why is he using the royal 'we'? He's not the entire federal government. And good on Gov. Mills standing up to him.

Considering how many romance novels I've read have bare knuckle boxers, there are probably some readers & writers would find this interesting.

The thing is, everyone was told this is exactly what was going to happen. The level of surprise that everything got more expensive just shows how people built a myth in their head vs. what was advertised!

Why aren't these stories framed as 'Trump will be 82 in 2028, he's too old! Especially with his family history of dementia'. If the media is unbiased (ha) he deserves the old age coverage Biden got. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

How did a third+ of voters not see this man for the absolute tool he is?

Way to get blocked by me: telling me not to spay/neuter dogs. There are already too many homeless pets. As the owner of dogs rescued from a backyard breeder & dealing with the fallout from poor breeding & a retired mama dog, I will not perpetuate this cycle.

It's performances like this, that have made watching the Kennedy Center Honors an annual event in this house. It breaks my heart this is another joy that man is ripping away.

I think my Senators have stopped answering the phone. Also, McConnell gets no props for voting 'no' now, he could've stopped this in January 2021 with the second impeachment vote. Too little, too late.

The ladies had their annual vet visit today, as always Freckles sailed through, but Bella is my sensitive baby & hid under a chair, cried, & was stressed anytime she was away from Freckles. On the plus side, clean bill of health for both. Love our vet, but my wallet appreciates fewer visits.

I was rooting for the Great Dane and the Mastiff, but of course Monty the schnauzer won. FS1 had been hyping him all night.

Just saw an ad for 'The Friend' with the Great Dane, Bing, he looks like my second Dane, Abby, I know the movie would make me cry.

Watching WKC dog show. Bentley the basset hound was robbed. Mind first time I've seen a basset hound as runner up in group. But when FS1 stopped judging coverage to talk about the whippet, it was obvious who the winner would be.

Instead of doomscrolling all day, I recycled cardboard & cans, as well as making space for a cat wheel (Biscuit is my first 100% indoor kitty & I want her to be able to exercise). So far, she is suspicious of the wheel.

Doomscrolling cleanser: been dog sitting for the past 9 days. During that time, my little princess here hides. Biscuit is a cat that craves human attention. So, the last dog leaves, & now she is tucked up next to me, filling her cuddles battery.

Every author newsletter I got this week mentioned the B&N pre-order discount sale. I went to order books from B&N only to find out the pre-order sale is for members only, the cost of membership exceeds the discount. Felt like B&N pulled a bait & switch. I'll pre-order elsewhere.

When are the Dems going to stop listening to Axelrod, Emanuel, & Carville? They've not had a winning strategy in forever! Spin this as Trump stealing $2 billion from US farmers. Get some farmers from NE or AL that have kept family farms alive by selling wheat & peas to USAID.

I appreciate all the local news stations in Denver telling people their rights when it comes to ICE.

All my senators' and my state attorney general's office phones are just going to voice mail. I assume that's not normal during business hrs.

If he's going to lose anyways, why give in now? When is someone going to risk defying this nonsense for the greater good. Even if they can primary everyone, it doesn't mean they'll lose! Grow a back bone and at least try.

How can anyone claim this man is smart? I have questions about Donald's sanity, but I think he & Jr. probably have more working brain cells than this guy. If he hadn't been born into wealth, white, in an apartheid nation, he'd be lucky to be selling sneakers for a living.

WTF is a special government employee? No background check, no security clearances, no authority granted by Congress?
