Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

The willow is too close to the house.

I was promised a recession.

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

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

I really should read my own blog.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

This is a bad camera phone pic, but this is how my roommate’s dog sleeps.

Buddy

He’s Buddy, and he’s a good dog.

    That is a dog who knows he is loved, completely safe and protected. A dog is a wonderful thing.

    Around our house that position is known as the Full Roadkill.

    We knew the five-year-old rescue we’d adopted was “acclimating” when he crawled into the bed between us, wriggled into a Full Roadkill, and fell asleep with a sigh of contentment.

    When I depart this life and my many failings are weighed in the balance, at least I’ll be able to count on a word in my favor from Zevon and the other “surplus animals” I’ve been able to provide a home for over the years…

    Both of my cats sleep that way when they sense their latest crime against humanity requires an extra shot of aw-dorable.

    That is a happy dog! Sometimes my cat Fido lies on his back with all his paws in the air. I can’t decide what that means. I choose to believe it means he is super comfortable.

    He wont feel loved and protected when someone accidentally steps on his nads.
    Remember folks, protect your junk at all times, even when sleeping.

    We always called that the Dead Dog pose, but Full Roadkill is just such a better term that I’m appropriating it immediately, with no promise of remuneration.

    I sleep that same way. I’d post a picture, but the site isn’t set up for that.

    My Lab/Golden mix sleeps that way all the time too!

    I’ve always thought it was his way of saying “I can’t believe you cut those off of me!”.

    Dogs are such a joy. One I often think we don’t deserve.

    While my chow-mix Tam sleeps like that, I know my pointer is seriously happy when her head hangs off the couch (she never sleeps on the floor).

    I found four little puppies that had been dumped today. Since I can’t put a pic in the comments here, feel free to stop by my humble blog to see them — also, name suggestions are very welcome although I haven’t had them long enough to get a sense of their personalities yet . . . well except that two were unafraid enough that I caught them quickly, the other two took more work and time to catch.

    Heh. Dreyf used to sleep like that sometimes. Then he’d wake up and start waving his front and back paws in the air, while making growling and schnuffing noises (we called it, “Dreyf doing his aerobics.”)

    Seeing a happy doggie always makes me happy. :)

    incontrolados, that is so kind of you. One thing I don’t like about living in a college town is the fact I can’t knock the snot out of the college kids who think nothing of dumping their pets every summer.

    Our rescued feral cat has just managed to pull the stunt for which I think he lives — he snuck into our bedroom, dodged a determined human, and took an eight foot leap through the air onto our bed. He seems to have decided that’s a safe spot, because he’s put his ears up and is surveying the room with a distinctly self-satisfied air.

    We called that the “dying cockroach.”

    Exactly how many tequila shooters did you give him, anyway?

    Thanks, Jake, but uhm, it’s something I worry about. I have a couple of trusted friends who have agreed to do an intervention if should ever even come close to over-doing it. I don’t want to be the crazy lady on teevee with hundreds of pets. As it stands now, I have a new feral cat living in the backyard whom I’ve yet to trap because the local spay/neuter place is closed for the holidays. Before the little pups today, I was at 10, which is pushing the limit. (But I can never say no, so the intervention squad will apply the pressure soon.)

    My blue pit bull sleeps the same way…got a few photos like that (got a great one over the holidays of him like on a quilt with his head on a pillow).

    My Lab/Spaniel(ish?) mix sleeps like this sometimes, too. I don’t think there’s anything particularly strange about it.

    Buddy looks like a good dog. Give him a collar scratch from me :)

    I have a yellow lab who sleeps the exact same way — but she’s usually on the couch when she does it.

    MD…I think this SOP for Labs and Goldens and any mix thereof. I got a Golden for my daughter who’s now (the dog) five months old, and this is his favorite position. He loves to show off his balls, which makes me think of the proud parent’s line in Fellini’s Amarcord, “Such balls as to fuck all of Italy!”
