    Kids and their bonds with pets are really special. If our house caught on fire and my 12-yo could only save either the dogs or his parents, my husband and I would be taking dirt naps.

    May Crosby have endless tennis balls to chase through endless fields. Hook em, big guy. So sorry for your loss, SB.

    Rocket was able to come home today. Felt good enough to lick his bowl clean and now is passed out in his new bed.

    Oh no - keep us updated. Sending all the good vibes to Crosby.

    Today Rocket had his second femoral head ostectomy to treat his severe hip dysplasia. It's been almost exactly a year since the operation on his other hip and while he sometimes limps on that side, he doesn't have a pain response there anymore. Hopefully we'll see the same thing on this hip once he recovers. Hip pain or not, he was excited enough about the snow to bound around in it last week. He also sends yellow lab healing vibes to @Sbbruin's Crosby.

    We were in a deep freeze for a goddamn week and then the day after it warms up I got itchy eyes and started sneezing like a mofo. Looks like cedar was low today but most places weren't recording counts for the last week, so I'm guessing it was a bit of cedar yesterday? I mean, come the fuck on.

    Good boy, Buddy!

    Yeah I'd get him checked out. They can ID what's going on pretty quickly with a stool sample, and if it's something like giardia you'll want him on meds asap because it can take a while to knock out.

    Rocket got the snow zoomies. Edgar was less impressed.

    Earlier she was on Twitter saying Trump had authorized the National Guard. I believe the sec of defense has since confirmed that Pence authorized the Guard, not Trump.

    I succumbed to the siren song of beautiful weather and sat outside for lunch on Monday. I've done a lot of dumb stuff in my life but that was up there. Yesterday was brutal, too. Here's hoping we get a brief respite today with the rain and that molds don't get too crazy while cedar is down.

    My god, I am so sorry. I (and I'm sure others here) would love to do something in her honor at some point, like order her favorite Whataburger meal or something like that. And of course, if there is any other way we can help you and your family, please let us know. To Sarah.🤘

    She talks about this in a recent Fresh Air - she was born in the US but moved to London when she was a baby and she lived there till she was 14, then moved back to the US. She said she switches back and forth depending on who she's talking to sometimes but I get the impression she's more comfortable with the British accent for every day. Hilaria Baldwin's actions, though, seem much more intentionally deceptive.

    I could feel it coming on yesterday. Woke up with a sore throat and sneezing/stuffiness today and sure enough, cedar's high. Here we go.

    Current view from my lap. That's 160 lbs of dog. Good thing this recliner is huge.

    Mine is 12 and is reading Pet Sematary. I warned him to just make sure to put a few hours between reading it and bedtime. I mean, I still won't read it near bedtime. The Stand is my favorite SK book and if he's up for it I'm fine with him reading it if he wants.

    Yeah I know a bunch too. Shitty times for sure.

    Just started this. I loved Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell so I'm hoping this is on par.

    Did you read Pillars of the Earth? I enjoyed that trilogy, as well as his Fall of Giants series, and am wondering if this compares.

    Michael Cohen is obviously a lying piece of shit, but one thing that struck me from his testimony was when they asked why he was bothering to turn on Trump at that point and he said something about it being because he'd been convinced that if Trump wasn't re-elected there was no chance of there being a peaceful transition of power. I doubt that that was his entire motivation, but I remember hearing it and getting chills because I was sure he was telling the truth about that part. And here we are.

    Trump will never, ever resign. I believe that with every fiber of my being.

    Oh my god, I'm so sorry and glad you and Kora are ok. So you were able to subdue the dog and keep it there till animal control got it? I carry pepper spray for stuff like this.

    I only know about the service they used (4 Paws for Ability) but I believe it cost them $17k. It's a lot, and certainly out of reach for many people, but the price doesn't surprise me considering that it takes two years to train them. This is a video they did about the process.

    My friend and her husband adopted a special-needs baby at birth - his mom was on drugs and he has a seizure disorder caused by schizencephaly. Two years ago they were able to raise enough money to get on a list for a service dog for him, and today he and the other kids placed with dogs from this training group got to meet their dogs! The agency recorded all the kids and their families as they met their pups so if you want to tear up and/or forget about election stuff for a while, here's the video: https://fb.watch/1w0lvKLgHq/ These dogs have been training with the service dog agency since they were puppies and it takes about 2 years for them to be ready. This is Al:
