Are you sure that’s not my dog?
Tank, a basset hound/pit bull mix, looks up at the camera, knowing he gets a cookie as soon as take the photo. He’s tricolor and very handsome.

We all made our own.
Handmade sign from No Kings day declaring that “I’m expected to shield my students from bullets, expect me to shield them from you, too.”

#NoKingsHouston
Two young female protesters—first with a sign that has a photo from Hamilton showing a king and reading, “When push comes to shove, I will send a full battalion to show you my love.” The second reads, “ power to the people #NoKings #NoTanks” A handmade sign sticking out from the crowd at the Houston No Kings Rally reads, “I’m expected to shield my students from bullets. Expect me to shield them from you, too. #Fuck Trump #NoKings.” A woman with black hair wearing a black ball cap in gray tank top is holding a sign which reads, “Warning! Dangerous Antifa terrorists spotted sharing snacks and empathy.” #No KingsHouston

That’s why we always have two or more dogs. Pack animals don’t do well emotionally without a companion.
Two happy dogs riding in the back seat of our old Ridgeline. One is a tricolor basset hound/ pit bull mix, the other is a black lab mix with a white blaze.

I have nearly everything Kate Bush ever recorded — love the voice and the songs. The Kick Inside got me through a really rough year. But on my wall, something a lot like this:
