Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

This is how realignments happen…

I did not have this on my fuck 2020 bingo card.

Naturally gregarious and alpha

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Four legs? good! two legs? we’re not so sure…

Fuck if i know. i just get yelled at when i try it.

Yes we did.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Women: they get shit done

Screw the Judean People’s Front. Splitters.

Almost as fun as hiking the Appalachian Trail

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Just a few bad apples.

Gastritis broke my calculator.

Militantly superior in their own minds…

I’m just glad to know that I’m not the only one maimed by my dogs this week.  And I was reassured by many tweets of people with much smaller dogs landing on their ass.  #doglife

I feel like you deserve some bonus pets:

Gabe sleeping

Gabe is stretched from Bixby (see his back feet are pressed against Bixby’s butt) all the way to the corner…which is WHERE I SIT. Nope, not today. Zander is snoozing away, oblivious to the ongoing battle.

I thought you might like to see a full-sized Scout. She can reach the top of our 6′ fence now. It’s scheduled to be replaced in the next year and I’m thinking I’m going for an 8′ one as a replacement.

Emma LOVES to be brushed and that sharp implement is her favorite of the brushes. No wimpy little soft nubbed Zoom Groom or glove brush for her. Bring on the torture devices. In her defense, her fur is pretty thick. She’s 18 now and as much of a pill as when she was 8 weeks old and hiding in my shoes and giving an entire other set of Danes hell.

And finally, the Big Guy.  You’ll notice a theme here. That’s my spot. LOL.

If you need me, I’ll be in my office, working. Where no pets are allowed.

(and before you ask, no ducks today, because when I went on my photo spree, it was still too cold for them to be out of their hut).

I assume (hope) this is some kind of parody?

After any adventure I like to enjoy a cold one, and I’m stoked to be partnering with @BuschBeer to tell you about #BuschDogBrew!
Now your pup can enjoy a beer after a day on the trail or on the lake. It’s made with simple ingredients, and your dog will love it. #BuschPartner pic.twitter.com/QrrgCHOBaH

Respite Open Thread: Someone Is Three

This post is in: Dog Blogging, Open Threads, Pet Blogging

Figured we could use something besides politics. Luckily, Scout turned three today, perfect timing for a little respite. I also have a WereBear post for a quiet time this week, too.

Auto Draft 28

I would have totally forgotten, but I keep in touch with her brothers and sisters, so someone reminded me.  Boy, has that bear shrunk over the years (and the scarf, too).

She is absolutely the best, sweetest, and good-natured Dane. She makes me smile every day and keeps Bixby on his toes with games of tug and lots of snuggles.

November is a rough month there, Harley, Jake and Bailey all left us. But of course, that means Zander and Gabe arrived soon after.  But Bailey was the hardest. Bixby was inconsolable.  The entire time I was in Paris, I was checking rescue groups and putting in applications during the night, since the time difference made sleep pretty much impossible.

When I got home, none of the rescues worked out and Bixby was getting more and more despondent.  I was desperate. I began looking for puppies. The chances of finding a litter seemed a long shot. And from a breeder that was responsible and caring.

Then I saw this:

And that was it. Heart fully engaged. I checked out her breeder, had a long talk with her and realized she was head and shoulders above any breeder I’d ever checked out. The next 8 weeks of videos proved I made the right choice. These dogs are spoiled, socialized, lived in her sons’ laps, and were as close to potty trained as an 8-week old puppy can be by the time Scout-a-licious arrived.

Auto Draft 29

There are more photos of both pups here.

Handsome Hound Open Thread

Haven’t posted a Badger photo in a while, so here’s one:

Auto Draft 25

He often walks along the top of the sofa as if he were a cat. That abused piece of furniture is a frequent launchpad when he gets the zoomies. Recently, he used that same commanding height to pounce on our Roomba.

I need to cut his damned claws, a task that we both hate. Daisy’s need to be trimmed too, but I don’t dread it as much as she’s usually not a big baby about it like Badger is. She’s stoical about baths too, whereas he acts like we’re trying to skin him alive. A big ol’ drama llama.

Anyhoo…open thread!
