years and many jobs ago a coworker's Westie had puppies and brought them in for all to see. The line around him was much bigger than when anyone brought in their new baby...of course, right?
Would this be an opportunistic moment to mention the work of ROLDA? The Romanian league for the defense of animals carries food across the border for shelter workers, and to be distributed to strays, and they bring back and rehome pets that are no longer being cared for.
When I was a kid we had a Westie, and kept talking about getting a Scottie to go with. The way these puppies romp remind me of Tasha when she was a puppy--just stupid cute.
I love those. My early childhood toy was one of those - stuffed, though - had him for years, long after all the fur was loved off. LOL This brought back nice memories. Thanks.
Are the Democrats in Congress finally getting their shit together? Or was this just a one-shot anomaly before most of them crawl back under their desks?
A nice lady at The NY Times wonder why TRUMP'S mental acuity isn't being questioned like Biden's was.
I replied because Trump always sounds demented because he lies to our faces and doesn't know what he's talking about, HOWEVER he might be developing Alzheimers, Daddy did at about the same age.
OT. I just read this article in The Guardian, of which this is the first line:
The US supreme court has weakened rules on the discharge of raw sewage into water supplies in a 5-4 ruling that undermines the 1972 Clean Water Act.
Amy C B joined the 3 other women on the court in the dissent. Alito wrote the opinion. Have not read it yet.
ETA: “The city is wrong,” according to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who wrote the dissenting opinion, which was joined by the three Democratic justices, Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson. “The relevant provision of the Clean Water Act directs EPA to impose any more stringent limitation that is necessary to meet… or required to implement any applicable water quality standard.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/04/epa-ruling-sewage-water
This is a serious question, what does trump think he's going to accomplish by enacting crazy tariffs against our largest world trading partners? They made it clear that they would retaliate and possibly do worse to us.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins this weekend offered some unusual advice to Americans frustrated by rising egg prices: raise your own chickens.
“People are sort of looking around thinking, ‘Wow, well maybe I can get a chicken in my backyard,’ and it’s awesome,” Rollins told Fox & Friends Weekend host Rachel Campos-Duffy. Rollins also referred to raising chickens at home in a Wall Street Journal op-ed last week. “We also want to make it easier for families to raise backyard chickens,” she wrote as she explained her five-part plan to reduce egg prices.
OSU Extension livestock specialist Dana Zook told USA Today that eggs would need to cost $10 a dozen for three years before a backyard coop with eight hens would pay off.
My city doesn’t allow backyard chickens. My neighbors once built a copp right up against the property line and our garage. We were very startled to see chicken faces there. They also had a rooster but we and other neighbors complained about that.
Point 1: Kudlow is an idiot, always was an idiot, and always will be an idiot.
Point 2: The WSJ can go perform an anatomically impossible act on itself. They helped to put this monster into office; they don't get to complain now that he is doing monstrous things.
My dear murder hornets, this is yours. It belongs to you. It may be taken away from you at some point in the near future but right now it is yours, and I invite you to go take a look at it.

I just spent a little time looking at this painting of boats in the setting sun, and I enlarged it until I could see the reflection of the setting sun on the edge of the sails, and the way the light reflects off the water onto the hulls.
We were so fucking close, but here we are. And now I have to go face a day of work amongst people who think that this is a wonderful thing, and who believe that the leopards will not eat their faces. But at least I had this.

OMG! They're even cuter as puppies.

Ooh, adorable little white fluffies! Of course cuter than babby.

I kind of love that one puppy whose rear differential locks up for a moment.
I love these puppies!

32/10, would roll around with those scotties
Squeee³

A passel of puppy precious!
PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!PUPPPIES!!!!!!!!!!*squees in joy and swoons*
Ohhh, they bred a dog to look like a Monopoly piece.
So clever!
Needs a white Westy.....

Squeeeeedonkulous!
One of my old High School buddies had a Scotty. The dog was a great dog, but my friend went hard right in the nineties and we went our separate ways.
Too bad that dogs can’t decide their owners.
Some doggies do. Our two rescues picked my kids out of a lineup!
They are sometimes better judges of humanity than we are.
Those are some odd looking Kittehs, but cute.
Alice says hai!

I hope the SOTU response causes a brawl and upsets Trump a lot. He thinks he has the cards.
A nice lady at The NY Times wonder why TRUMP'S mental acuity isn't being questioned like Biden's was.

I wonder if the Immoral Majority on the Supreme Court will be attending tonight in MAGA hats.
I'll be looking for the live blog here!
Feels like the bad news is coming out of one of those pitching machines set on FAST.

Waiting on my better half to get sent back to the ward from post op... he's taking his sweet ass time.
Typical.
Yes and no. Depends what sedation they gave him. I am loosing it a bit.

Just what we need - a massive strategic reservoir of bird flu
Plus, bird flu. Plus, not every place would allow it. Plus, FOX.
Hey, dumbshit, what if you live in an apartment?
Some guy in a red hat told me they make great roommates.

That act is something I would pay to see.
