#Dogs If you remember Carter, he was at a municipal shelter and was on the list to be euthanized, and you all begged me to save him. He's still at . He has a skin condition and has to get weekly baths for his allergies. Just got this pic from our volunteer 💗

I just lectured the dog about how the new cats lost their home and had to live in a shelter for a while and got neutered as adults and then moved in with us weirdos just like he did, and so he should have more empathy and do less growling, but he wasn’t moved.

UPDATE: This is also happening in Duval County, FL.
A principal sent this note: "We are being asked to restrict classroom libraries...sadly you will need to remove student access...I will be the one with a felony if we are found in violation...I wish I was making this all up"

1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION
The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.

I’m totally charmed by this year’s winter gift from . Apparently I needed a Jewish-rest-themed coloring book in my life, but didn’t know it.

I have a circular rash on my chest today, and instead of remembering that I had round stickers on me for the heart test yesterday, my brain went, “Do I have ringworm?”

I recently discovered that, as a fluent Spanish speaker, I can totally understand Ladino, both written and spoken. That makes me wonder how much German I'm learning by studying Yiddish.

Tomorrow’s high school snowboarding competition is postponed because the way the course was built has been deemed “sketchy.” I’ll admit that’s not something that happened in my soccer mom days.

I had my long-delayed echo/stress test today (thanks, covid) and there are few things more moving than seeing your own heart doing its thing on the screen. Good job, little heart. Keep on pumping.

His shelter name was DJ, and I’d planned to change it to Babka. Then I met him and thought he was more of a Frank than a Babka. Then I spent a few days with him and can say with all confidence that he is definitely a Meatball. 100% purebred Big Loving Lug.

Just going to lean in to the reality of being a person who wears all black every day and just adopted a very affectionate white cat and an equally affectionate creamsicle-colored cat. Resistance is futile. Lint rollers are our saviors.

You're welcome! I'm so excited! Please tell all your Portland friends that we can transport cats to Portland. If anyone falls in love with a dog, ask me questions, and if they can travel to Pendleton, I'll try to meet them on a Saturday to introduce them to dogs :-)

On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have wanted me to remind you all that it’s been more than a week since a DC man shot & killed 13-year-old Karon Blake in an act of vigilante violence. The killer is being protected by police & the Mayor instead of arrested. Why?
