My bully is scared of flags, hats, sprinklers, and corgis. I am not looking forward to his first Halloween season walks. Tater Tot tax (with bonus Nana Pudding):

Yes, pudding is delicious! Also, here is my orange tabby, Nana Pudding. He has freckles like all the best bananas.

Every meteroligist/weather reporter in the Midwest: it's so hot. Please keep your pets inside or at least in the shade. My Bully: fuck you, I'm going to belly flop on the concrete sidewalk, at high noon, and no one can stop me. I did finally bribe him back in with some cheese.

11 shrimp(s) in the Socialist 10 Shrimp meal.

My Dad (dead) is the big Blue splat, My husband's Dad (dead) is the Green spot, My husband (not dead) is Orange spot, and I am not a dad, but I'm the Yellow splat.

It's a three way tie between string cheese, freeze dried liver, and Pet Botanicals bacon flavor. But none of those can draw him away from wild rabbit poo. 🫠

Adding something unpleasant (pain) would be Positive Punishment. We use mostly Positive Reinforcement with our dog, and a couple of Negative Punishments. One is I stop playing when he tries to nip/bite me and the other is removing him from the situation when he gets too hyper.

Kenny is asserting his dominance by taking over the dog kennel.

A breakthrough in Cat-Dog relations. Kenny has grudgingly achieved TOLERANCE of Tater Tot.

Yeah, I tried that one, too

2 minutes later: Tater Tot would like to call for a brief recess while he takes a loud nap.

Tater Tot would like to plead his case to #dogsky against me for neglect and abuse. He has to sleep in this Serta pet bed next to the people bed, instead of the big people bed that he can't even get into because he has stumpy little legs.

I've given this lecture to my fat boy, and he informed me he was after the butter, not the sugar. Obligatory cat pics:

Possibly one of these items, I'd guess:

Not quite. He had a smooth brown coat, But also had the fuzzy crinkly fur like DogPool has. He basically looked like a live action version of Max, including little tufts on his feet, like how Max has here: Unfortunately, no photos of Leroy survived.

I think my daughter wants us to buy an RV for our next vacation. 😂

This was just brought to my attention by another romance author: www.threads.com/@jackie_ashe...

And Laguna looks like he might be a polydactyl? So the litter tracking would even out.

OMG, look at him!

Same as it ever was

I had something weird on my Pinterest and when I clicked through, I was like, "okay they STILL look like butt plugs, but now for ants."

Did anyone have piccolo horn? I would have also accepted mini French horn, or "one of his instruments"

Kenny and Kelly Kameowski

Saved from my own insanity by being too poor:

This makes me fucking furious. The Alexander brothers are all currently sitting trial for this, but the young woman who reported them years ago was called crazy and not believed.

Is this the one that you've tried? It looks so good

I have to say, as someone who is a fan of bacon and pickles, after the success of the Big Bacon marketing push, I am disappointed that Big Pickle is not doing as well with the public. It is nice to have a snack the rest of my family hates, the only way I can ensure I get to eat my own snacks.
