Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

This blog will pay for itself.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Giving up is unforgivable.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Republicans do not trust women.

Guess Who Gets Puppy Video?

by | 39 Comments

This post is in: 

That’s right, you do. Because I just received a command from the blogfather that you should get puppy video (like 5 minutes ago, he called me and said “we need video”) and I could not say no.

Yes, one of these little (HA! – they are all* bigger than Scout when she CAME HOME!) seven-week-old pups will be arriving next week to bring joy back to our very sad home.

That is all you get!

Okay…maybe her name:

Guess Who Gets Puppy Video?

Officially, Trixie Belle …and I’m assuming some third name when I decide what kind of trouble she is. Scout knows when I call her Jean Louise Finch, she should just put herself into time out in the bathroom.

Scout in a rare timeout (which she did herself) for barking in the backyard when I told her to stop.

*Except for the fawn, Max, who came to them with a broken leg, when no other vet could fix it, their vet not only fixed it, but is now adopting Max and this video is the first where little Max is cast free and running with the “big” dogs and loving it.

    Honestly, a pile of puppies is just good for the soul. When I was in high school, a friend of mine had a yellow lab who was a breeder for Guide Dogs for the Blind, and one time I went with her family to go visit after a litter was born. The papa was a golden retriever, and there we are sitting in this pen with like 8 of those puppies crawling all over us and it was so cute I thought my head would asplode.

    @Joy in FL: Thanks. It was a long, frustrating summer. We were denied several adoption/foster opportunities – I think mostly because of the ducks – there was a lot of worry there. This is Scout’s breeder who I have remained friends with and she’s just exceptional in all she does – including adopting a piglet that fell off a truck and nursing it back to health. It now lives on her farm with the Danes, horses and cows.

    One of my kid’s old HS teammates just won the CIF HS D1 cross country championship for California. And she’s just a junior. Her sister was #50.

    Thanks for this midday pick me up! I’m sure Trixie Belle will wiggle her way into your heart in no time. Congratulations!

    OMG, such a lot of wriggling adorableness! Lucky Trixie, and lucky you!

    ETA: It’s hard to believe Scout was ever that little, even though I know you shared pix and videos of her.

    Oh, come on! You can’t just say ‘one of these pups’, and not tell us which one! Unless you don’t know yet? I had the breeder choose my last one and probably will next time. I told her what I was looking for, and she said, “I know exactly what puppy you want.”

    @JoyceH: Oh, no, I know who it is. I picked her out when she was just a day old. I’m just keeping the anticipation going until next week when you all will get the first “at home” pictures asap.

    Okay, I have to go water the trees. We are in an epic drought and I have a new tree I do not want to lose…and the city is encouraging us to do a deep water this weekend while it’s unseasonably warm.

    But you know, climate change is a hoax and all..

    I love that so many of the pups are parti-colored.  Can’t wait for the formal introduction!

    And that Max… what an indomitable character!

    I WANT THE MOTTLED BABY IN THE MIDDLE!!!

    Screw breed restrictions. I might just suck it up and buy a house in the next couple of years.

    @dkinPa: I find that copy-paste the entire page’s URL into an incognito window usually does the trick.  I run a “block facebook” extension in my browser, so it’s unavoidable to see anything on FB (which I rarely do).

    There are two who look like Trixies to me; the black one with the mostly white face and black eye on the far left, or the dalmatian-spotted one next to it.

    They are all irresistibly adorable!

    They are all adorbs, but I’m all about the white one with the grey face and ears. And Scout is too cute.

    When Trixie’s trouble, you can call her Beatrix Belden!!

    Looks like a cute video, but since Facebook asked my firewall for my location, I’ll wait and hope to see it on uboob someday.

    Twitter and FB are really annoying me with their constant attempts to know my whereabouts

    The tan pup in that video is a right mixer. Going for the ears!

    @Steeplejack (phone):  that’s the one I’d pick. I love trouble puppies.

    @Alison Rose: 
    I did the puppy raising thing for them until five years ago, when we adopted our “failure”. It was a rough volunteer gig even then; these days, for reasons I don’t really want to get into, I wouldn’t volunteer for them again. That being said, it’s a needed thing for those who can stand dealing with the organization. It’s not so much that the blind folks need the dogs for guidance so much, but that the dog is their sole gateway to interaction with other humans. They absolutely need those dogs. I’m glad I did it.

    Looks like little gray face is popular here. Me too!  Looks so sweet, but I am sure they’re all wonderful.
