Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

In after Baud. Damn.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Pet Calendar Update – What a Good Idea!

So many pet crushes, so little time.

Pets Are Contacting Me About The Calendar! 2

Subaru Diane suggested a pet calendar update – what a great idea!

Calendar Orders

We are going with Cafe Press again this year.  They raised the cost to us, and you guys swore a blood oath that you wouldn’t mind if we raised the price, so calendars will be $27 each this year.  We have a Calendar A and a Calendar B again this year.

Availability

We’re sticking with the December 1 goal again this year as the first day to order calendars.  They usually go out within a day or two after ordering.

Mock-ups

Hoping the mock-ups will be done by Monday, 11/29.

Verifying Your Info

I hope to be able to put up the verification links in the sidebar by Friday 11/26.  Saturday 11/27 at the very latest.  That is your chance to correct names that are misspelled, check to make sure that all your pets are indeed in a single calendar, make sure we have a heart if you have lost your beloved pet, and that there isn’t a heart if you are still together.

Organizing The Pet Photos

Pet photos are organized into individual months and then into Calendar A and Calendar B for each months.  This is where we are now, and we are about halfway there.

Update on the Pet Rescue

An update from the pet rescue will go up soon – I asked them for an update so we can all see how our calendar dollars and donations are being put to good use!  I have received the info from the pet rescue folks… but I haven’t had a chance to put the post together yet.

What am I forgetting?

    Thank you, WG! This is a great help with planning. I can’t wait to see this year’s offerings.

    @Kalakal:

    Back in the 1950s there was a TV sitcom called The People’s Choice, starring Jackie Cooper. It featured a Bassett hound named Cleo who offered up her thoughts — zingers and mordant commentary — in every episode. Might have been my introduction to the breed.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Yes. I wish I had that book! Cleo was dressed up in various costumes. The one I remember the best is she’s dressed as an old-time movie director. So the first words I ever read were “Lights — camera — action!”

    So we got behind on errands today. All the kids got their Turkyday dinner from the grocery. So we didn’t  euthanize the cocker. I think this is a good thing. We have been watching his diet to protect his kidneys. Now he can eat whatever he wants in his last few days.

    Sounds heartless but  it isn’t. Love the little guy but he is in pain

    ETA We weren’t emotionally up to killing two loved pets back to back. Still crying about Mac.

    My husband is heating up our pre-prepared thanksgiving dinner. I don’t know why he wants to do it now. Following the grocery instructions. This might be interesting. I might become superfluous.

    I don’t know why people think bassetts look sad. That bassett looks shamelessly begging to me. But we had a bassett in my childhood.

    Since I didn’t meet my dog Nola until last Monday, I couldn’t get her picture into this year’s calendar. But I can’t wait to send it in for next year’s edition!

    I’ve ruined Katie. It was so easy. She is over 8 and had never been given or ever had, that I know of, had ice cream. I thought she should taste ice cream so I gave her a taste.
    What a polite girl she was. Never begged closer than lying a discrete distance on the floor sending discrete eye messages.
    A taste of the frozen elixir changed her boldness and position. One taste and every polite limit has been stretched. She comes at the sound of the wrapper and lets her nose boldly go where no nose has gone before.
    One taste!

    The real question is – will the calendar week begin on Sunday, like a bunch of silly people, or be ‘correct’ and begin on Monday, as all right-thinking people would agree?
