Took an evening walk through our Portland neighborhood with my son and my dog. We can’t figure out how these festive neighbors made the giant cat on their porch roof move as if it is pouncing.
Obviously we need the national guard to help us with these scary inflatables everywhere. 😅🐈‍⬛🎃

Sprocket will come and nudge me when my heart rate or breathing elevate.
Our cat has asthma; I caught this after an attack. Sprocket checks on her, nudges, and then licks her. “You okay? I boop you so you are careful. Also licks.” 😊
Didn’t realize I had trained a service dog to help the cat… 🤣💕🐕‍🦺

In “war-ravaged” Portland: yesterday, ICE had snipers on the roof of their building shooting pepper balls at people who were (checks notes)… standing still with signs and chanting. The hostility is coming from ICE, not the other way around.

Because he looks like a muppet and my disability is invisible, we often get side-eye as a service dog team. He can retrieve my meds, water, phone, my bag, human help if needed, and alerts to my episodes before my smartwatch even registers a change!
(Still a muppet, but a *service* muppet!)
