Adam sent me a quick text and asked if I would put up an open thread saying there would be no Ukraine update tonight. They will resume tomorrow. So I went searching for some Patron and found Malta!
Another member of #Ukraine's four-legged forces. This one is called Malta and like little Patron and dozens of other service dogs, she bravely sniffs out explosives & mines etc. She's said to have a cold nose & a warm heart 🐶. https://t.co/Ytc941tkGv pic.twitter.com/Up8A9JUoGZ

I couldn’t find attribution for this one, if you figure it out in the comments, I’ll add to the post:

Hooray for all the four legged masters.

Zelenskyy’s address tonight was very positive–Ukraine is really getting things done to show they are worthy and deserving of EU candidacy, and I was glad for the way he discussed the vote in favor of the Istanbul Convention, noting that this is about protecting all people from domestic violence and discrimination.

Never visited Malta but did go to the island of Majorca, Spain in 1984. Where we had a small oil spill that totally ruined my fresh khaki uniform.

@Mike in NC: I spent a happy couple of weeks in Malta years ago. Valetta is amazing. A curious thing was watching the film Popeye with Robin Williams being filmed there. That and the use of prickly pear as hedges, apparently it’s the only goat proof form of fencing/hedging

Dmitry Muratov, The Russian journalist who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, auctioned his medal to benefit UNICEF operations in Ukraine, and the winning bid was $103 million! As the second highest bid was $17 million, someone basically just made a $100 million donation to unicef.

Patron is the busiest boy!

Belgium Malinois. One of the smartest and strongest dog breeds. If you have a few minutes sometime check out some of the training clips on Utube. Unbelievably strong and agile.
