Don't buy from a backyard breeder. Poor Oliver has no surgical options that will allow him to defecate normally. He has genetic megacolon and wears a diaper because he constantly leaks stool. He's a handsome devil but breeding for looks and not health is bad.

COVID and flu vaccines done! Get them now. I remember each and every person I took care of as a hospice physician who had COVID or the flu what they needed to be comfortable at the end of life. Perhaps Mr. Kennedy would like to join me at bedside for our next pandemic

You know when the economy sucks when a 3 pound Chihuahua is found as a stray. Meet Nibbler. Ancient, no teeth, skinny but sweet. She's why I continue to foster.

Not an oldster but a pup with medical needs. Meet Oliver, product of a backyard breeder with spinal deformities and megacolon. The Oldsters are showing this youngster how to behave. Diaper because he has fecal incontinence.

I am a child of immigrants. Immigrants who died under the thumb of railroad barons. One ancestor died in a cave-in building the Pacific Railroad in Montana. My great grandparents were married in Havre Montana in a railroad camp. Thinking of all immigrants and their contributions made.

14 million: the number of deaths that are expected by 2030, as the State Department takes over programs that were previously run by USAID. Many political leaders, including former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, called the decision a “colossal mistake.”

$12 million: the value of contraceptives and HIV-prevention meds the Trump administration is reportedly set to destroy. Purchased by USAID for developing countries, the drugs have been sitting unused in warehouses since the agency was nearly dismantled in January.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."

Little Reed the senior doxie. Rushed him to the Vet ER last week and am so happy to have him home feeling better. These Oldsters steal your heart. He had respiratory issues that were a mystery. Science and vet medicine always looks for answers to make life better. Wish others understood that

An oath of office
is more than
an archaic promise
to God.
It is an oral contract
w/ the public,
a term of employment,
requiring our servants
to obey the law &
uphold our Constitution.
MAGA shills declaring
loyalty to Trump first,
have violated their
oaths already.

If you donate to your local PBS station, you can get PBS passport which unlocks access to a library of programming. I dumped my Amazon Prime membership and donates the same amount to my local PBS station. I can stream high quality documentaries and know that my money isn't going to an oligarch.
