Oh no. What a mess. A great advertisement for this dog as a rescue!

Good pup! My wife made her wedding dress from her mother’s dress. When we were taking pictures after the ceremony Raven and his brother Smoky got in the creek and then trampled her train. She was very understanding.

Good lord, what a mess. ?

I don’t hear John chuckling along with Devon.

@Kay Eye:
I don’t think he was there, I think she just sent him the video to put on his YouTube channel.

You can tell that dog had the best time in the mud!

I’m debating what to make for dinner tonight. Baked chicken in tomato sauce, or mini frittatas?

Brooklyn sure is training Devon really well. Got Devon wrapped around her pretty little paw!

Just a placeholder so I remember to show this to OzarkHillbilly tomorrow.

Good doggie.

@Mnemosyne: (flips coin). Chicken.

You’ll sleep better with the chicken. I so hate getting old and worrying about what I can eat before bedtime.
Baud
@Mnemosyne: Why not both?

@Baud:
Only one oven. Plus I’m lazy.

I’m just going to admire this sentence after it’s been stripped (plucked?) from its context.

@Lahke:
I would probably be okay with the frittatas — I would make them with digestion-friendly ingredients. But the chicken is sounding good tonight.

About 4 years ago we went to my sister’s house in the “country” (more exurbs than country, but you get the picture) to barbecue and set off fireworks for July 4th. My son and daughter-in-law brought their pampered, citified chihuahua.
You probably know where this is going – that pup took off with the first burst of fireworks. There was much sobbing and gnashing of teeth. Reinforcements were called in to help search. Snacks by foxes and coyotes were postulated. Several of us spent the entire night searching for that silly, pinkish-white little stinker. We broke at daybreak for a cup of coffee, then went back to the search. About 10 minutes later I heard one of my son’s friends shout “Found him!” He had heard barking he recognized.
That foppish, city-bred, indoor dog had made his way across the street, up a steep, heavily wooded hill, and into a locked house, where he made his muddy self comfortable for the night on their white sofa. The kids found him when they came downstairs for cartoons. The barking was because he didn’t want to share the sofa.
I gained a whole new respect for that dog that night.

What a cute dog! I could see my 2 rescues doing that.
We had a previous dog who loved to throw her shoulders into dead fish along the Susquehanna. I figured she thought the odor of dead fish was camoflague when she tried to sneak up on the area squirrels.

A few years ago… It was the dead of winter. There was, like, a foot of snow on the ground. My (extremely weather-hardy) dog Buster asked to go outside. I let him out, to romp in the snow and whatnot.
After about half an hour, he came back in. His feet were muddy. I have no idea where he found the mud.

Awww, I love her sweet, little ears and those big eyes. I wish my pup weren’t so horrible about other dogs in her house.

Trump just reneged on the DACA deal.

Man, this felt like a long weekend. I did two (2!) social things, a BBQ with a bunch of friends/associates and then brunch today. I also did some reading, and finished up a couple comic strips I’m proud of. Finally, I’ve decided my new coding side project will be a web app that has a bunch of tools for writing and organization and stuff for stories. Good chance to showcase my various skills, too. It’ll also do text analysis on your stories if you want because that’s my jam. I’m calling it Pathfork, because I like Borges and it sounds like a website name.
Now I’m playing Witcher to unwind.

@RedDirtGirl:
Yes, after we posted this morning I started to think it may be the same family. My son is really sad. He got the news yesterday. They spent some time together recently pruning and doing yard work and he really liked him.
I’m so sad for all of them.

@Omnes Omnibus:
They were both waiting for biopsy results several days ago.

This is a heads up for anyone interested in working on ACA Signup fill-in-the gap volunteer work. Here is the private Facebook group that is working on it: Indivisible ACA Signup Project
They just posted:
We are still seeking leaders for the following state groups– please reach out to me below or send a message! DC, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Vermont.

When Devon says, no, don’t move, Brooklyn shows she knows she’s making a mess. So adorable!

@Major Major Major Major: What do you think the other half of the time?
@schrodingers_cat: Yep. It’s really the only thing they’re good at.

@BaudThey have put in the proposals in Cotton-Perdue as the starting point of negotiations. Citizens will only be able to sponsor their minor children and spouses and the points program which is the immigration equivalent of the poll tests of yore.

@Baud: did anybody actually think they had a deal with him though? I always figured our congressional leaders announced it to fuck with the GOP, and on the off chance that it might stroke his ego and help with an actual deal. No way did Chuck and Nancy have one meeting with him and actually think there was a real deal.

@schrodingers_cat:
Stopping unaccompanied child migration and getting rid of DACA is an effort to get rid of two of the most sympathetic illegal immigrant groups. After all, if people start sympathizing with kids who were brought here by their parents, they might start sympathizing with the parents next, and maybe even with legal immigrants — can’t have that!

Is it possible to “renege” on a deal that a party never had the slightest intention of keeping?
