We love our pets and we would do anything for them, which is why we didn't hesitate to get Rosie the emergency surgery she needed yesterday. The cost, however, is on a scale that we cannot manage with the money in the bank. You can help by donating or sharing her fundraiser here: gofund.me/ceddd9f7f
Happy Gay Cardinal Crimbus!!
print this out, share it with your friends and family, give it to your homophobic aunt and make sure she knows they’re both supposed to be red ❤️

We think *all* trash we remove from the Salish Sea is inappropriate, but this particular balloon was REALLY inappropriate! We retrieve hundreds of balloons from the water each year, but don't think we've ever found one quite like this! 😳🚫🎈

Day 5(ish) with our bird feeders set up, a single crow has visited but they were startled by the swaying and immediately flew away. Who will be bold enough to have a tasty morsel? Stay tuned 🐦
