Yea, good call. Particularly after ending your comment with "read between the lines" quite condescendingly, when it was probably you who could have afforded to do just that. :)

Petsitting a dog this weekend whose whole thing is she wants you to sit with her on the patio lounge chair and pet her a little. All day and night. This is her only desire in life. If she cannot have it exactly like this, she would like treats to console her.

Could I have a cookie please

Saw this fella today. I'm not sure what it is, possibly a blue heron. It was pretty unbothered by the many passers-by, including a few dogs. Just out enjoying a pond in South Jersey this fine late morning.

Not sure who to credit for this photograph, nor when it was taken. But I hope the photographer is having a great day today.

My Valentine's Day/Palentine's brunch going for a hike with this handsome man. He's one of my first recurring clients, and the one I spend the most time with daily. He's a great buddy.

Have you seen my dog's perfect little pink nose? It's very good.

Have you seen my dog? Because he is a very good little trash monster

These were daggers for your toys when you were growing up, right?

That dork looks a lot like my parents' dork

POV my happily purring calico Mabel is snuggling and getting tummy rubs

My little trash gremlin and very good boy Toph, born blind and deaf, but very happy nonetheless.

My late mother's dog is an absolute bed hog.

My mom died and her dog immediately started having an identity crisis, now thinks she's a cat. Perched on arm of reclining chair.

Just realized I have two replies but can't see them at all?

Congratulations! You did it!

One of my clients was congratulating me on handling my mom's stage 4 incurable cancer diagnosis so well and I almost blurted out, "weed helps."

💕💕💕

Like, have you guys seen the fancy goldfish? It's a very friend-shaped little guy.

It was wise to limit replies and quotes. "Experience" is no longer an adequate requisite for running for office. That died in 2016. I'm not saying she should run, but AOC has been working in government long enough to run a competent administration if she got to that point THREE YEARS FROM NOW.

Come to think of it, it's sort of wild that the default isn't "do no harm," huh? It's in the Hippocratic Oath, right? But it seems like maybe everyone should be taking t

It was really cool having the president defund all government-sponsored cancer research the same year that my mother got a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. That was a really fun way to drag myself into/through 2025. Every day is a new horror though so it could, incredibly, get/be worse.

If you howl laughing at something, you have to buy it, right?

Funny you should mention turtles

My mom has to get militant about masking again because of her cancer and treatments. I told her I could try to order them bulk. Today she sent me this.

And opposite to Phoebe who would love to be everyone's friend is Bodhi who doesn't want to talk to you if he thinks you're a man or if your vibes are just ~off~ If you give him a treat and compliment him, he might decide to make friends with you. But probably not.
