Also, too, ever since we moved to our new, sunnier apartment a couple of years ago, Keaton has discovered the pleasures of a patch of sunlight. Now sometimes he can’t be arsed to get up and demand attention from me when he’s gotten particularly comfortable.

John Lewis and a puppy — what more could a girl want?
I was going through my crate-digging (well, YouTube-trolling) the other week when I found thesesongs by Ethiopian singer Mahmoud Ahmed, and the instrumentation — or at least the synth work — is one of the most fundamentally unnerving things I’ve heard in quite a while. Thoughts?
I have a backyard swimming pool and some of my dogs like to lie on it because it is covered by dark green vinyl for 7 months of the year, and it is like a waterbed that soaks up the sun. If I weighed less I might join them, but as it is, I would get wet. They also used to wrestle each other on it. I loved watching them do that.

OT: geez, it’s tiring having to constantly hound Feinstein. I get that there are Rs all over the country who need hounding. Squish Dems in purple and red states, ditto. But this squish is in a solid blue state, and we STILL gotta hound her compromisin’ ass? Lordy. Give me patience. I can just -feel- it that they’re gonna fold on Gorsuch.
@Chet Murthy: Feinstein is as wealthy as God and much more worried about where her hubby’s next government contract is coming from than she is about reproductive rights. I will happily be corrected on that impression if evidence to the contrary exists.

Forget seeing your first robin. The first real sign of Spring is seeing your pup sunning themselves outside.

@Mnemosyne: Bitch has a specific meaning: a female dog who has had puppies. Granted it was a natural extension to it being considered derogatory for female humans but it does have an archaic definition.
Well, Rosie’s vet might know. I can’t remember if Cole had to get her spayed after she jumped into his car and demanded to be taken home.

When Theo Epstein found out he was named Fortune’s World’s Greatest Leader,
Epstein said, “Um, I can’t even get my dog to stop peeing in the house. That is ridiculous. The whole thing is patently ridiculous. It’s baseball — a pastime involving a lot of chance. If [Ben] Zobrist’s ball is three inches farther off the line, I’m on the hot seat for a failed five-year plan. And I’m not even the best leader in our organization; our players are.”
Wonder if Rosie is tuckered out from frolicking? It’s chilly here too, but sunny, and my crew is definitely working up waiting for warmer weather. Hershey is healing very well, gets his stitches out Monday. Normally, I’d just remove them, but the vet drew a nap of all his injury sites and I don’t want to miss any.
I’m all bruised up from him ramming his cone into my legs. He’s always trying to beat me to the door!

My good animal related news is the plastic owl (with bobble head and big shiny eyes) took care of the silly teen aged robin that was attacking our windows and sliding door (his reflection apparently said something really aggressive to him). The main place he was attacking was the sliding door, covering it in bird spit and tiny feathers, plus covering the deck with bird poop by the door. The owl scared him away from that, so he went to the other side of the house and attacked that window, then last night I saw two male robins doing the bird version of chesties to see who gets to claim our yard. I’m assuming it is their first breeding season and they are seriously jacked up on hormones.
