Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

We’re not going back!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

As promised. Scout at 5 months with her favorite guy.

Don’t let that face fool you – she’s all mischief and trouble.

There are a ton more photos here. I got kind of carried away yesterday. There were a lot of requests for ducks in the last thread I put up – even though it was literally a duck post.  So here are most of the duck photos I have. I don’t take a lot of them because most of the time I just get their little fluffy butts. Most of their charm is in their daily yard duties. They take their job very seriously. I should be taking more  video of them.

I suppose my cats deserve equal time…maybe next week.

Time to update us on your critters! Share your photo links in the comments.

    Do not believe you. I believe the face.

    Dogs. About 2 this morning, Anze the Dog went ballistic. We woke up and found out why, there was a coyote looking in the bedroom window. Pretty sure he flipped Anze the bird before he sauntered off the porch.

    Home very late last night from the business trip from hell, and off now to my in-laws’ for the blessing of Easter baskets this afternoon. On topic, because my daughter and SIL adopted a puppy a few weeks ago, and they will be there. He was something like 8 weeks old when they got him, and judging from recent photos he has about doubled in size already. Apparently mischief is his middle name (as I think it is for most pups.)

    Our poor puppeh is struggling right now, but since we thought we lost him on Monday, that’s a lot better than we feared. On Monday morning he was stumbling around, couldn’t get comfortable, eyes acting crazy, and finally couldn’t even get up. We thought he had a stroke and this is the end. He’s been in our family for 11 years and is probably about 14 years old. The vet diagnosed “old dog vestibular disease”. For mostly unknown reasons, the inner ear and balance mechanisms go haywire and the poor guy is dizzy and disoriented with no balance at all. The good news is that is almost always clears up in a week or two. He is much better than he was and can walk around some and he has some meds to keep him calm, but we probably have another week or so before things get close to normal.

    Aww, goggies and ducks!

    Luna the Wonder Husky continues to amaze and amuse. Stella my big Shepherd/Rottie mix continues a long slow slide into doggy dementia, alas. Our lives consist of a lot of literal herding, in reverse. Not her herding, but me herding her – out the door, to do her business, etc. She’s very unsteady on her feet now, and i’ve had to improvise a sling from an old beach towel to get her up the stairs at night – which is quite an arm workout, if you’ve never tried hoisting a 90-lb dog up a flight of stairs. I admire your willingness to take on the huge breeds, TaMara – i think i’m going to start scaling down, myself, after Stella finally passes. My friend D has got me seriously thnking about…Pomeranians. Or perhaps I’ll channel my grandmother and get Yorkies. : )

    SCOUTPUPPEH!!!

    My emotions are all over the place this morning. Between the horrific bus crash involving a team of juvenile hockey players and coming up on the end of filing season…yeah.

    Off topic, but a major roadway, route 30 just outside Pittsburgh, has just collapsed.

    Many Pittsburghers live in houses and drive on roads perched on the sides of hills and cliffs. There’s a reason it’s called San Francisco East.

    But with the rain and snow and freeze and thaw cycles, we’ve never had so many collapses and slides and buildings endangered.

    @PAM Dirac: I loved an old dog who would get that way now and again. It’s unsettling, but it does go away. So glad that’s all it was for your pup!

    Love all the photos, the snuggles on the couch, the ones where Scout is so tiny but playing with her Giant Brother. But you’re missing that awesome first photo of Scout from before she came to live with yo. Love that one!

    I cried, of course, when I got to the photo of Bailey. Such a beauty, body and soul.

    Following Schrodinger’s Cat’s advice, I ordered hairball remedy from amazon (for the cat).

    Package arrived today.

    For some reason, the box said “electronic game box” which made me glad I retrieved it from the porch quickly.

    I can imagine a porch thief being bitterly disappointed upon stealing a game box package and finding hairball remedy inside.
