Pokey needs your attention and would like to know if you would be his furever family he is sweet and loving and would be perfect for someone who wants to shower this perfect boy with lots and lots of constant love and pets
this is how i’ll remember him…spitting mad in defense of a drunk rapey frat bro nominated by a demented rapist, in service of a white nationalist and war mongering agenda it’s also how i’ll remember Cornyn, watching from the shadows like a coward, trying to maintain a weak sense of decorum
City of Dallas is preparing to do just that and give up on spending what it takes to fix this:
this little guy will be ready for adoption in DFW in a few weeks for anyone who needs some furry love in their life
so there’s this facebook group called “white and proud” and over the last couple of days it was basically taken over by people outside the targeted demographic and the posts/comments have been very funny
say hello to Pokey! he needs a forever home in DFW! he's 4-months old, absolutely loooooves pets, and has a ton of energy he gets along great with his siblings, but would probably do just fine as an only child, because he is more than happy to receive 110% of your attention
i’ve definitely worked places that had lousier views from the front door a real shame that lack of funding, imagination, and political will may force us out
they still haven’t sent an official notice to all city staff, lol

we really need help finding foster/forever homes for kittens in D/FW Maggie (tortoiseshell) is very sweet, but shy...she enjoys pets, but still not so comfortable being handled Pinky (tuxedo) still needs lots of help being socialized...he is very curious and active message me for more info
never been good at impressions but this just came to me when i read that the latest algae bloom in the reflecting pond was due to their efforts to remove the first algae bloom? it’s just going to be algae blooms all the way down now? someone who is gooder at impressions than me should do this
the longer it’s off the table, the closer we get to this one neat trick that will solve many of our problems
i mean, seriously, look at this very good and adorable boy, he needs a forever home where he can lounge in luxury and safety!
this is Basil he is 3 and a half months old and he is a very good boy he needs a foster/forever home he’s already had his first round of shots, and is healthy he loves pets and loves to play
