Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Come on, man.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

We still have time to mess this up!

Bark louder, little dog.

Infrastructure week. at last.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

In my day, never was longer.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

More favorite pics!  I think we need to suggest captions for some of these!

Here is my (current) notorious Jack Russell.  I think he is Patron’s US cousin.  His name is just “B”.  Lucky for us, he only needs to concern himself with duck “invasions” not Russians.  This is him wanting to run off a mallard incursion to our dock.  (NotoriousJRT)

🎄

My beloved Addie. She was wonderful and gifted me with nearly 2 years of comfort and love. Her death on this past election day left me devastated.  (Anotherlurker)

🎄

This little black is my new addition, Lucy. She is a Cocker Spaniel pup who was the product of an “oops!” pregnancy. My friends adopted her brother, who loved my Addie. When I found out that Lucy was stlll available for adoption, I thought hard upon it and decided to go for it.   She is super sweet and cuddly and is the smallest and youngest pup in my adoption history.

Addie would have loved her. Thank you for this opportunity to share my happiness.

This fluffy tuxedo is my late cat Misty (2000-2017). (Captain C)

🎄

Thisone is a very friendly stray who we named Licorice Jackson AKA Sinatra when he joined our outdoor party in AZ one Saturday in 2016.  Luckily, he was chipped, and we were able to reunite him with his human who lived 10 miles away (he’d been gone for a month).  That’s me in the Bournemouth jersey.  (Captain C)

🎄

I have lurked for years, but since I love the pictures, I’m finally sending one! This is my cat, Alice, enjoying Christmas.  (clpayne)

🎄

Meet BaBoo. (Dan B.)

🎄

This haired tuxedo is Furr Beast who passed away last year at 19. He was the very most mellow like a Rag Doll cat but a love, unlike Rag Dolls I’ve known.  (Dan B.)

🎄

Starting the Christmas clean-up and Darby is already over it.  (Darby’s Mom)

    Tomorrow will be the last of the photos that were sent in on Monday!

    On Christmas, we’ll start with the photos that were sent in on Tuesday. :-)

    Another Lurker – Addie has such a sweet face. She reminds me of our Lobo who lived a very long life and developed the white around his face. I’m so sorry for your loss but happy for your new friend.

    I love seeing these dear animals.  Thanks to everyone who is sharing. Thanks to WaterGirl for the series of heart-posts.

    Oh Anotherlurker, I am so happy for you and Lucy!  And in a coincidence, I adopted a dog on 11/16, and I named her Lucy.

    Darby does not seem to appreciate his beautiful tree.

    Anotherlurker, Addie was so beautiful.  It sure seems like Lucy has claimed you as her own.

    I think that might really be Patron – the person who sent in the photo didn’t give a name… maybe it really is him! :-)

    BaBoo 💕

    Love the upside-down kitty, clpayne!

    edit: Hmm, I see that there was a follow-up email with his name: “B” Likely story! :-)

    Our Trixie is still lying in state at the vet waiting for a final resting place as my ex-wife figures out what she wants to do. Poor thing – I spent most of the morning yesterday with her and trying to comfort her and her loss. Such a sweet dog. Such a shame that she couldn’t see her one last time.

    @WaterGirl: I am loving seeing all the well-loved pet companions. The love and affection shines through and warms my heart this holiday season.  Thanks for doing this!

    Such great pics!!

    I wish I could post mine, but my two critters look unsightly – one has licked all the fur he can reach and has just a racing strip on top. The other one has licked off fur from a leg. They had such pretty fur.

    @cain: I’m so sorry for your loss. Been there & done that. It’s the price we pay for the privilege of loving a pet.

    @WaterGirl: If you had a “page view” counter, I think it would be a high number. I’ve already scrolled through these pics three times.

    I think it’s still a wonderful idea, so don’t be discouraged about the lack of comments.

    My comment for today and each and every day for the favorite pet pics:  “Awwwwwwww!”

    @sab: On the contrary, that little reindeer lasted well into the winter.   And then she ripped its fluffy- guts out.

    @WaterGirl: She turned 1 in November.  When I went to look for a new cat, I was entranced by the young kittens, but I was leaning towards adopting an older cat.

    Sassy (formerly Allie) had lived in two different shelters since she was a kitten, so I figured it was time she lived in a house where she could be the center of attention.  She made sure I noticed her at the shelter!

    There was a period of adjustment, though.  It took her a while before she would hang out with me.  Her preferred place is on the footrest of my recliner, next to my legs!  She hangs out in the sewing room with me, and supervises all bathroom visits, lol!

    She is healing my heart!
