Get you someone who loves you as much as my puppy loves playing with a chunk of wood in fresh snow.

If you want to know how things are going, per the satellite tracker he wears the puppy has been meeting his step goals by 5 am most mornings.
A large mixed breed black and cream puppy sitting in the front passenger seat of a car. His mouth is open and his tongue is hanging straight out, and he is wearing a purple collar. He looks very sweet and innocent.

This is, unfortunately, so Wisconsin. She's only put in jail for THIRD OFFENSE drunk driving because she didn't have anyone sober to take charge of her.

Alcoholism is a disease and I'm not saying jail is the best place for someone with that disease, I'm saying we don't take alcoholism seriously.
From a police blotter: 1:17am - Central – Intoxicated Driver: A 27-year-old female driver/subject turned onto E. Washington Ave going the wrong way. The officer had to do an evasive maneuver to not get hit by the driver/subject. Traffic stop conducted. The subject was found to be impaired and failed field sobriety tests. The subject was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence (2nd offense). The subject has a 2nd offense driving while intoxicated case already pending in court so this will likely be her 3rd offense. The subject was also charged with driving the wrong way and operating after revocation. The subject was going to be released to a responsible party but that individual showed up intoxicated themselves. The subject was instead booked into jail.

With all the awfulness in the world, I think it's important that people meet my new puppy. His name is Teddy. He is 5m old and 35lbs. His DNA shows about 30% each of Husky and Great Pyrenees, 20% German Shepherd, and 10% each of Golden Retriever and Anatolian Shepherd. He's also afraid of the wind.

I really am trying to get my work done.

The dog is snoring.

While there are worse ways to die than being smothered by my cat’s belly fur, he really needs to stop flopping across my face at 2 am so that I wake up, unable to breathe.

He may look disgruntled but his purring tells me he is, in fact, quite gruntled.

I never imagined that I could be the kind of person who did not follow the news and keep up with politics in detail, but that's who I am now. I do not have the strength for it right now. This guy is going to his new home today, where he will be worshipped like the magnificent king that he is.

He is always putting his needs first. How am I supposed to study like this?
Photo from behind of a cat sitting on the keyboard of a laptop, watching a Youtube video called Cat TV that is a stream of a small bird on a log in front of green leaves. It’s his favorite show.

He may not know the value of y, but he does know the value of sitting his fluffy butt on my bare leg, which is infinite.
A long haired ginger tabby with green eyes, perched loafing on my chest with a laptop open in the background. He looks satisfied. He is purring.

The school still has my ID picture in their system from 2002, when I did my EMT training there.
Blurry ID photo of a young white woman with dark hair pulled back from her face, light skin, and green eyes, with silver hoop earrings, in a red shirt in front of a blue background. Very young. Like, a baby.

My study buddy expects me to do all the work, except for the looking magnificent part. He’s got that covered.

Fuzz is pretty certain that I was put here on this earth solely to pet him, and I am falling down on the job.
A long haired apricot and white cat curled up against my leg on the couch, in the red glow of my laptop lights. He has been well-brushed and petted, no matter what he tells you.

My poor dog wants so desperately to play with the cats, but he is too boisterous so they run from him, which of course makes him chase them because they’re playing! And then everyone is worked up for a while.

He does get rewarded when he settles down.
A large red dog and a small black and white dog on a messy couch next to a curled up ginger tabby cat. A moment of détente.

He truly wishes he’d been born a teacup poodle, I think.
