What do you mean I have to move, I just had surgery, remember?
Milking her recovery for sure. A week out and she’s doing great from her spay. It was quite hectic here for a while – foster puppy and Scout’s surgery. Luckily, we are all almost back to normal.
For those who may have missed my comment the other day, I did hear from Baby’s forever family and he is doing well, claimed his spot on the couch, loves his new brother dog and is turning into the goofy boy I knew he would.

I have noticed that the only people in Dem politics that it’s okay to taunt, mock, dismiss, insult, attack, slander, or abuse…
Are Democrats who voted for a Democrat in the last primary.
We are just the bad people, the elite who better do what we’re told or else.

Hooray for a successful rehoming!
I’m just settling in for an evening of Sunless Skies here, with nature’s perfect killing machine on my lap, and a cup of tea.

Those mugs are great. As soon as I get back from my trip, I have a list of art I’m ordering from her. The print she made of Bixby first, a commission of Jake and then that adorable Raspberry Beret puppy.

Remember when we had a president? This is beautiful.

Received an email yesterday telling me my prints are in the mail. One a gift, one for us. Cleared a spot on a wall already.

Here’s my puppy, mostly his nose.

So, it’s Saturday, my favorite day of the week.
Why?
12:30, The Debaters on CBC Radio, today, Movie trailers, good or no? Japan, most advanced society, yes or no? Lot’s and lots of puns, and even a trailer for Jon Lithgow playing Stever Patterson in “The Debaters”, the movie.
6:30, Laugh out Loud. Good enought that we dredged up an old episode, for an encore.
If you like language, drunk tanks, kids, snot walrus’s, wolves and arctic hares, give it a listen. Rob Pew by the way.

It’s been a day of ups & downs. One of my former interns came back to visit me, so I called up my old DP & IT guy and we had a mini company reunion. But before that, one of my other friends texted me to say her father’s organs were shutting down & he was dying. About an hour later, he passed. Funny how your emotions can run the gamut.

I just love the soulful look in Scout’s eyes. Although, based on the caption, that look might be more “reproachful” than “soulful.”

@John Revolta:
A seriously good boy, except when he’s stealing stuff or barking at the sky. Otherwise, a good boy!

Heh, no naps for that puppy.
Ours doesn’t usually mind the teevee but watching Westminster last week was no puppy picnic. “Who ARE they and why are they in MY house!”

Autotune kitteh. The only good use for autotune.

R.I.P. Stanley Donen, movie director. From It’s Always Fair Weather, in which postwar anomie meets the burgeoning tv-driven consumer society,
“Midnight with Madeline” featuring Dolores Gray as the TV star and “Baby, You Knock Me Out” featuring Cyd Charisse as the show producer. Vertigo, indeed.

That was, ummm… interesting. Probably won’t buy the whole CD, though.

Personal fave among the films he directed is the lesser known Movie Movie. Good fun and unapologetic kitsch all the way through. Plus some wonderful lines delivered straight-faced in all innocence, such as “That’s the second time today you made me drop my panties” or George C. Scott demanding “Give me a big blue behind.”
A rousing tune from the flick.

@jeffreyw: My mug came yesterday. Aside from the beautiful artwork, the mug itself is great. It’s a lot taller and heavier than I expected. If the cat knocks that over it won’t be an accident.

This New Yorker essay on Feinstein (etc.) is good. Or at least I agree with it.
