The World’s Goodest Boy(👇) was half Pyr, and I cannot recommend the breed/mixes enough. Friendly, lazy, easy-going nature and usually great with kids (as well as other animals). If you have room in your heart and your yard - take a chance on one of these good boys/girls. You won’t find a better dog.

Federal Judges have ruled a) that the President does have the authority to release emergency SNAP funds during the shutdown & b) that Trump *Must* do so.
That means if payments don't go out, it's because Trump & the republicans defied the Judiciary to refuse to use their authority to send them out.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.
