Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Truman, our elderly Standard Poodle has to get three pills, morning and night. He's very sweet--he hates it, but he stays still and lets us pry open his mouth and throw the first two pills in. We then hold his mouth closed while he swallows and the whole time, he looks up with such desire to please and then rubs his head against me as soon as we let go. He's just the sweetest guy ever. (Our other doggie will let you give him a pill, but then walks away like "Man, you guys are the worst. I can't BELIEVE you did that on purpose.")

He loves his glucosamine pill, so he gets that for dessert.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Home with the little guy again. Everything looked fine at the pediatrician, so he goes back to daycare tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get used to my glasses. Part of the problem is that the right earpiece is causing a sore spot on the back of that ear.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We just put Kato's pills in peanut butter, and he's like "I get peanut butter AGAIN??? I love you guys!!!"

In the comments, it's funny how all of the people who are like "Free speech! Slippery slope! Persecution!" are posting under male handles.

I want to Womansplain the First Amendment to those people.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I call Walter's glucosamine pills his treats. They are apparently pretty tasty. Even the cats are willing to eat them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is funny. #banmen

Aw! My cat Homer was like that. Hazel just nopes out. Even when they taste good! The ear-rubbing is working out fine, though.

ION, JFC. I just asked someone to proofread something for me. She does not usually do this, but the person who does is out of the office. She didn't track the changes. And most of what she changed was there on purpose. So that's good times.

Darby needs a vet trip (lyme booster) and BATH. Yesterday we were leaving the cottage and she jumped into the car a little awkwardly and when she hit the seat an actual cloud of dirt poofed up, like Pigpen from Charlie Brown.

The compare documents function can help with that. Still a pain, but better than starting from scratch.

That is what I will do! Good one.
