I feel you. I didn’t have that particular problem, but I now have “She is the Schnauzer Queen, old and sweet, only eighty-one...” running through my head on a loop.

Exactly. I support ethical breeders who believe in bettering breeds and making them as healthy as possible, while attempting to eradicate breed-specific issues. I am staunchly against the cruel, inhumane, and unnecessary practice of ear cropping. I don’t care how old she is. What she’s doing is cruel and wrong.

I wonder how quickly the practice would die out if the AKC removed docking and cropping from their breed standards.

Admittedly, as the ED of an animal shelter, I am a bit biased, but yeah, there was nothing in that article that pointed to some grand effort by “animal rights activists” to go after this lady. I mean there are some bat-shit insane people in my field who will go after anyone they feel is “wrong” but that really doesn’t…

Same. I’m surrounded by them, and most are unoriginal and take awful photos. The pose that gets me the most is the one where the “blogger” is tucking a piece of hair behind an ear while smiling at the floor. Everyone does it! Do better!

Exactly, they were obviously friends who were biting off of each other. Whats more believable: They went on a trip together and one posted before the other (7days) or one saw the picture, bought a ticket to CA, and found the exact same mural to take a picture in front of for the likes.

So I have an airplane groping story.

I want to like this, and I’m glad that it’s becoming the norm to be more shade inclusive, but Kylie has a history of taking marketing ideas from women of color and then using them for her own financial gain$... like, at least say you were inspired by Rihanna’s mission, Kylie!

I mean that and EVE PLEX have real world value directly via a marketplace, so in a way, yes, you can measure WoW Gold in your national currency of choice.

I guess by that logic, wow gold is also real money.

They should actually print this and hand it out in Congress, Alabama and in Evangelical churches. Ah fuck it, hand it out everywhere.

There’s zero chance that Shane isn’t a fucking scumbag, right?

Watched this live and she is so ridiculously adorable. She said her new goal was to get as many wins in a tournament as years old she was, 7.
