LAO sent me some photos of beloved rescue Maggie (her original story is here) and I thought we could all use a nice reprieve from everything else.
You will see she has injured herself, though LAO assures me it is non-life threatening and:
I note for the record, Maggie is working her injured paw for all it’s worth. She’s enjoying the attention absolute strangers pay her on street.
As someone who is the guardian of two very large clowns and three smaller “we pretend to be aloof, but are really balls of purr and fluff” I can attest to the healing power of critters in the house.
Let’s all give a big aaaawwww to Maggie and her sore foot.
How is your day shaping up? Open thread

Maggie is adorbs! Love her coat. Very stylish. Hope her foot heals soon.
LAO
She is a drama queen!

Don’t know if you’ve heard of the Tennessee Mutt Puppies; you can read their story by enlarging the calendar at the start of the post. It’s a good story. facebook.com/groups/264095503992401/

Good morning! I took a pretty picture from the trolley. imgur.com/a/0kK4K
I got some good writing done on the train, and then I’ve got work’s creative writing club this lunch. What a writerly day…

Oh my gosh, I am in love with Maggie! Just love her markings! That little dot on top of her head is just too much.
She’s adorable, LAO. And all dogs are drama queens, in my experience.

@Butch: That is a lovely story. Annie and her pups are lucky to have found such great owners.

@LAO:
She’s adorable. As an only child, she knows everything revolves around her.

Beautiful Victorian, I love the color, and the details are gorgeous.

I’m getting ready to spend a week or so visiting a friend in Oklahoma City. I won’t be able to follow politics as much, and that will be good for my feelz.

@Yarrow: It’s the first one that kills me. It’s so perfect – “look at me and my hurted paw I am so cute and plucky OOHH the dogmanity!”

I have a request.
ACA repeal is very important but can we also have an FP about General Kelly’s plan to separate mothers from their children to deter border crossings? And also a discussion of his other grotesque initiatives.
Thanks.
Yarrow
@Miss Bianca: I love the last one — “I have been so cute for you and now I have a hurted paw and you want me to go out? I’m so comfy on this carpet and warm in my coat. And you want me to go out? I have done so much for you. I HAVE A HURT PAW!”
LAO
@Miss Bianca: Her dog walker took that one (my pictures tend towards a John Cole level of awful). Last Sunday, it was so cold in NYC, she’d walk a few feet, then sit down and strike that pose till a stranger stopped to pet her. Happened about 14 times. By the third time, I was just rolling my eyes.
LAO
@Yarrow: I have you met my dog — because yeah, that’s exactly what she was “saying.”

@hovercraft: It’s a new paint/detail job. It was gray a year ago, but the sort of gray that probably has a fancier name.
Yarrow
@LAO: No, but I know that look. LOL.

And a totally fashionable pup as well.
Butch
@Patricia Kayden: A copy of the calendar is hanging in our kitchen. They’re cute pups and good owners.

Maggie is cute :)

So cute! Our cats will get that put-upon look sometimes, too.

Looks like you were on one of the old orange Milanese trolleys? I remember riding on them in Milan molti anni fa. I love the way they look but they’re so noisy I can hear them from my office two blocks away.
The new LGBTQ Center paint job is very … purple.
