That's just a poodle dressed up to look like a zebra. Actual zebras are much larger.

I’m so glad you guys have turned me on to Paul Bronks, my new substitute for the lamented Cute Overload.
I can’t refuse Lin-Manuel anything.

What sounds do zebras make? One way to tell which species it is would be to ask it a few questions. If it answers “woof”, then it is most likely a dog. If it answers with whatever sounds zebras make, then it is most likely a zebra.

I finally got everything I wanted to find for my niece’s graduation, and now I need to wrap everything and put it into the reusable shopping bag that is part of the gift for our family dinner tonight. Short version, I got her the academic version of the planner I like (Passion Planner) and a bunch of planner accessories, plus a couple of themed adult coloring books, plus a Target gift card.

@Jerry Russian:
If it helps any, zebras are horses, and they make horse noises. At least, that’s what the wildlife documentaries say.

Heading out in just a bit to see Dave Matthews Band…Mrs. Jeffro can scratch that one off her bucket list now!
(I’m a little jaded…I saw them ‘back in the day’ at smaller venues in the Valley…saw Boyd Tinsley back when he had his own trio going)

@Amir Khalid: They don’t really sound like horses, though they don’t woof either.

Just in case youse didn’t know, today is Worldwide Knit In Public day. I just ran into a large group of folks camped out in a downtown plaza busily knitting away.
Came away with a beautiful hand painted silk scarf and left a donation for the breast health project.
Knit on! You mighty knitters!

As if my nightmares about being bitten by dogs needed a new hellhound.

Our doggie barely holds still to put her collar on most of the time. I can just imagine what she’d be like if I came at her with a paintbrush and a can of paint. After shaving her…
Entertaining clip though!
Donated++ Thanks.
Cheers,

@HumboldtBlue:
I am sad that my carpal tunnels made me give up knitting for now. ? I should probably learn to dictate my novels so I can knit again, but I can’t both type and knit, unfortunately.

That is, of course, unless the zebra is the famous Mr. Ed

Don’t ever tell anyone you have Dave Matthews tickets or they’ll think you have DMT or so a person I knew in school told me. Apparently DMT is a drug that slows down perception of time. The same person took this drug

@raven: I am out here at beautiful Belmont Park. It’s a gorgeous day. My seven-year-old is my date to the race. Thankfully, Belmont has a playground in the back so he’s getting to run off a little bit of energy before we go up to our nose bleed seats.

I’ve watched the rerun of Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes hundreds of times and it still gets to me. Let’s go Justify!
zhena gogolia
Okay, I dissed “Lady Bird” last night but I tried watching it again today and it’s not so bad. Saoirse Ronan is amazing (not sure I spelled it right), as is Laurie Metcalf (whose name I’ve been misspelling all my life). The plot is a little predictable so far but maybe the last 20 minutes will surprise me.

I’m sure you’ve considered this already, but I just wanted to mention that I had carpal tunnel surgery in both hands and it worked perfectly. Also it is a very minimal surgery….the worst part is the EMG.

@Sister Rail Gun of Warm Humanitarianism: I have two rescued oriental shorthairs, and a rescued tabby.
The oriental shorthair girls both make that same noise themselves, so they sleep right through it. My tabby girl leaps up and smacks the screen with a look of total horror and disdain on her face – pretty much the same look she gets when her buddies shriek like that for Da Bird!
Funny video for humans, but the feline jury is still out!

The last time I had it tested, I wasn’t a candidate for sugery because I didn’t have an actual blockage, just pain. I should probably get that checked again since it was over 15 years ago and the standards may have changed.

In other news, on Twitter, Donnie just blew up the unanimous communique from the G7 summit because Trudeau said that Canada’s tariffs would still go ahead. As reported by BBC News.
Least surprising action, ever.

It can be hard to say with her — she’s on the autism spectrum* so she has very definite opinions about what she does and does not like that can’t be moved, so either she’ll love it or she’ll just be puzzled.
* As you may already know, a decade ago they would have said she has Asperger’s, but they’ve now realized that Asperger’s is just the highest-functioning type of autism.
I’ve gotten the same gift pack for my Florida niece, tailored to her preferences, so I need to send that off next week. She’s actually starting her first semester of college on 6/23 because she needs to get out of the Devil Woman’s house ASAP for her own sanity.

@eemom:
EMGs are fun! Fun I tell you! And if anyone believes that I’ve got titles to several bridges that I’ll let you have cheap.
I noticed that they placed the pickups at the end of your extremities. To check that the signals were going the other direction, to your brain correctly, they wait for the patient to exclaim “MotherFucker!” which is a totally appropriate response. It isn’t the response that’s important, it’s the delay between them pressing the button and your utterance. You will utter something.

Apparently Trump suggested if the G-7 didn’t meet all of his absurd fairness demands, “we’ll stop trading with them”. Like the petulant man-baby that he is, he’ll just pick up his toys and go home.

I know a little about the Canadian dairy business but I did not know that in the US Big Milk is just another welfare bum. Government subsidies account for 73% (!) of producer’s returns. Trump, of course, wouldn’t know anything about that.
The Ancient Randonneur
@chris: Those dairy tariffs he’s bitching about were taken care of in the TPP. And, yes, the government supports dairy in much the same way it supports corn and other agricultural products with subsidy checks.
