Local elections are coming up. I'm in the early stages of my research of who and what is on my ballot. If you are in Denton County and want to see if you're eligible to vote, where you are supposed to go to vote, and a sample of your ballot, go here:

Rescued a mama kitty and her brand new litter from our bushes. My dogs wanted to eat them, but luckily I had them leashed for our walk. Thank you to Texas Rustlers Fat Cat for being so fast to take the whole litter to foster!
A faded calico kitty peers from behind some bushes, surrounded by dead leaves. Some tiny kittens, who almost blend into their surroundings, are cuddled up next to their mama. The faded calico kitty is safely in a kennel waiting for her rescue. She is surrounded by a pile of eight newborn kittens trying to nurse. The babies are only two to four hours old. Four of the kittens appear to be brown tabbies, plus two orange tabbies, and two calicos.

Lazing on the couch reading a book. Diva called a truce in order to cuddle me while little dude was napping on me, too. Hopefully, she will come to love him as much as we do! This is a huge step forward, heh.
Two dogs sleeping on a couch cuddling their human. The smaller dog, a brindle and black corgi mix, is asleep facing the camera. Cuddled up against the corgi is a white greyhound with a black saddle and white ticking. The greyhound is rolled on its side and back in a roaching L shape. Her muzzle is slightly agape, and her tongue is poking out at the corner of her mouth. Slightly different angle of two dogs sleeping on a couch cuddling their human.

We have a set of Christmas bells hanging from our back door that the diva uses to be let outside. Little dude has taught himself how to ring the bells so he can go outside when he wants, too. Little dude is tracking a squirrel, and checks the yard often for these intruders.
A small black dog is crouching in the foreground. The dog's ears are up and he is staring at the back corner of a fenced yard. On the third crossbeam of the greyed wood fence is a squirrel, who watches the dog from the corner of its eye. The squirrel is on all four legs, its tail curled in anticipation of fleeing, or taunting, its canine opponent.

Diva let little dude sit on the couch with her for, like, 20 minutes without complaining! A breakthrough and shared joyful experience in shredding cardboard. 🤣
Two dogs sitting on a navy blue couch surrounded by the shredded pieces of cardboard. The small corgi mix on the left is black with brindle over the eyes, ears and legs, and white paws and white blazed face. The corgi mix is sitting up staring at the camera, with giant ears upright. The dog in the right is a greyhound with a black saddle, mask, and ears, and a white blazed face. The rest of her white body has black ticking all over. The greyhound is curled up and looking to the right, trying to ignore the smaller dog now that the destruction of the cardboard is complete.

Little dude got snipped on Friday. Thus far, he has destroyed his original plastic e-collar, & in 24 hours, his inflatable donut e-collar. Luckily, I predicted this, so I had purchased some pajamas. All well & good, but in less than 6 hours, the pajamas have been torn during play with the diva. 🤦‍♀️

He is wearing green and black striped knit pajamas. Close up side view of a complex long tear in the green and black pajamas of a small dog. The tears have been mended with small, neat hand stitching in black thread.

Newest family member! He's a sweet little dude, a mix of confident and shy as he figures out his place. He's playful & cuddly & chill, which is the perfect mix for our house. If our diva loves him, he's part of our family. So far, he likes her, and she likes him as long as he stays off her couch.

My son's dungeon for Friday night D&D last week....

The quote of the evening after I said they could eat the dungeon:

"Oh! Diabetes speed run!"

Used 1" grid wrapping paper as the base, so they didn't have to extrapolate movement.

(thanks to my sister and wegeektogether on Instagram for the idea)
