I made maybe 4 TikTok videos total. All were of my dog. This is the first and best.
Here's another banger I'd forgotten about. I went through a 60s music phase ages ago and I'm not entirely sure he isn't a time traveler: www.youtube.com/watch?v=61I4...

The first little brother we applied for was adopted before we got to him. I put in an application for another yesterday but idk when/if we'll hear anything.
Waffles would be happy staying an only child but as the oldest of two I can confirm he doesn't get a choice.

We're still looking for a little brother for Waffles, and when I look at their little shelter photos I have to remind myself what he looked like when I brought *him* home.
Versus the other night after a bath and blow dry and 8.5 years of love.

It's amusing that they've messed up so much so often that now when someone gets arrested the reaction is basically

when i was a criminal lawyer i always had to give the "there's literally nothing you can tell me that i have not heard before. i can only help you if you tell me everything and tell me the truth." speech
and it's a struggle to remember this when i talk to doctors but it's true for them too

If you don't feel comfortable telling your doctor the whole truth then you need to find another doctor.
Don't pay someone you don't trust.
They can't help you if you don't tell them everything.

Never!! I’ve mentioned this before but I was so afraid of detention and suspension because on tv shows they would say it would end up on your “permanent record” and I really thought as an adult someone would find out you got suspended in middle school or something.
Have you ever been suspended from school?

You all funded Penelope’s care in just 8 minutes ensuring she has everything she needs to recover! We removed her post due to how distressing her shelter intake image was. We’ll keep you pupdated on her progress here ❤️🩹

Okay the idea of this man being followed by whistles for the rest of his life is very funny.
Bovino’s gonna be hearing whistles in shadows like Captain Hook hearing the ticking of a clock
"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

Also that they turned around and immediately gave those guys new jobs. Literally nothing to see here.
I’m still processing how quickly they got up to podiums to trash Alex Pretti. That really should scare all of us.
