Yes, you read that headline right. Given all the insanity we’ve been covering this weekend, I thought it would be good to post about something nice for a change. When the Vancouver, BC hotel that was hosting the annual VancouFur convention turned out to also be one of the temporary housing sites for Syrian refugees that have been admitted to Canada something really wonderful happened. The anthropomorphic animal reenactors reached out to the refugee children to welcome them to Canada.

To quote one of the participants:
Mike Schmidt, who attended VancouFur wrote on Vancity Buzz: “One of the many highlights for me was when the new group of Syrian refugee children came in and got to interact with us. To them we were cartoons to come to life, to us [it] was a means to display our acting performance to a very appreciative audience.

Click on over and see the videos and more pictures of the refugee children having a great time interacting with the furries (the first one is autoplay).

Anybody got any good links on last night’s Democratic town hall?
Apart from that, what’s on the agenda for the day?

This primary seems like it is never going to end. Oh, and to balance out that hair on fire Bill Curry piece, here’s a Kevin Drum piece on Hillary and Wall Street that is pretty fair.
At any rate, on to the sweetest thing. Steve woke us all up at 5:30 this morning, barged into my room, and started screaming that it was time for breakfast. He does that from time to time. The house doors shut and stay closed, but they don’t lock because the house has shifted a little, so the animals have learned they can just push on some of the closed doors and make their way in.
So I got up, fed Steve, and even though I had been up way too late last night (past two), I knew I wasn’t going to be able to fall asleep again any time soon, so I made some coffee. Stumbled my way to the desk and sat down to start reading and checking email, and after about 45 minutes, Lily came into the office and started jumping up onto my leg with her front paws, and yipping like she wanted to play. So I skritched her ears, and went back to what I was doing. She did it again, I pet her, paid some attention, and went back to work. She did it again. Finally, I said what’s wrong, Lily. She turned around, walked out of the office, and jumped back into bed and looked at me. So I said fine, and we went back to bed for another hour.
I guess she just wasn’t ready to wake up and wanted her heater back.

My dogs are asleep, so I can’t take their picture to share without pissing them off. Here’s a drawing instead:

The dog below has a peculiar compulsion to show anyone entering the house that she is in possession of a chew toy:
If you leave the house and come back, she wants you to acknowledge that she has this chew toy, and she will follow you around snorting and whirling and wagging madly until you say something like, “Wow, I see you have a chew toy! Good girl!”
Then she’ll drop it and go back to whatever she was doing before your arrival. Weird.
