So @melbailey.bsky.social did a "one like = one [something]" thread of lots of cool things in her house. I think my house would be good for this so I will do it too. One like, one photo of some ridiculous-assed thing in my house. With or without a story attached, I dunno
Rita was crate trained when we first got her. We have been asked not to let dogs on the furniture at this place, and the only way to stop Rita being a Sneaky Couch Sleeper was to bring a crate

We have discovered she is no longer crate trained

She is now vehemently anti-crate 😄

Well,
You have to wonder if the strikes on the "drug boats" were just a way to test which generals would follow illegal orders wrt an undeclared war with Venezuela and weed out those who wouldn't.

Just realised that when we go away tomorrow it will be Rita's first holiday with us! Tiny Dog is an old hand at holidays and has even been to the South Island twice, but Rita has stayed home

"I have it on excellent authority that you are a VERY good girl. I have been informed" I can hear the husband babbling to Rita in another room and it is adorable

WE HAVE NO MONEY!
it's incredible that in all this hand wringing about the plight of the hospitality industry globally, no-one has come to the incredibly simple answer that people aren't eating out as much not due to generational differences or wfh, but WE HAVE NO MONEY

I missed this from the Manhattan Institute survey on December 1 of the "current GOP." 37% are Holocaust deniers, which, to my surprise, is greater than the percentage (33%) that believes vaccines cause autism.
