Olive is 14 1/2.months old. She is such a joyful presence in my life. The photos show her before grooming and then after grooming this week. Beautiful both ways #dogsofbluesky #havanese #dogs #happiness

Olive (Havanese) and Basil (toy fox terrier) enjoy a rare moment of togetherness. #dogsofbluesky #Havanese #toyfoxterrier #dogs

Olive met another Havanese who was much smaller than her. She was only minimally interested. Truthfully, she likes people much more than other dogs. #DogsofBluesky #Havanese #Dogs

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

A very rare time when my Havanese Olive and my toy Fox terrier Basil coexist peacefully together.

So very true!
The federal minimum wage is still $7.25.
Eggs cost an average of $6.49/doz.

Millionaires and billionaires don’t care that most of you have to work for ~an hour of your life to afford a dozen eggs.

Stop idolizing them.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.
