It’s so hard to watch, isn’t it? Sophie just had one last week. It was only bad for about 24 hours (though she was weird for a few days), but it was her worst so far. She hid under the table shaking for hours, sitting up because she was too scared to lie down. I tried to pet her at one point early on, before I…

I’m a side sleeper as well, and my dogs are perfect. One of them likes to curl up upside down against my front, with his butt against my stomach and his back against my thighs, while the other one likes to sleep against the small of my back. It’s like have two soft, snuggly hot water bottles. Particularly nice when I…

Both my dogs start the night sleeping with me, but Buster usually switches to his bed after I fall asleep. If I get up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water or use the bathroom, sometimes he’ll jump back in bed with me and snuggle until I fall asleep again. It’s very sweet.

“Fuck your guns” is an exceedingly mild response to “Fuck your dead kids.”

When I was growing up, my mother had a huge cookbook from the 50s that was assembled from recipes from women’s clubs around the country. It had so many great recipes — and so many weird ones, like squirrel — and I had endless amounts of fun learning to make Boston cream pie and and lemon meringue pie and frozen fruit…

It’s okay to leave work on time

Sorry to answer this comment so long after the fact, but it’s worth noting that the stringent adoption requirements almost always come from private rescues, not public shelters.

It’s the same reason people like upskirt photos. The lack of consent and the victimization of the women is the whole point.

The thing I’ve never been able to get past is that the laws in this country exist in no small part to protect upper class white people from the rest of us. Since the government is heavily composed of upper class white people working to benefit their upper class white benefactors, there’s no way in hell they’d allow…

There’s a word for that!

Thank you! Very excited to try this.

That sounds amazing! Can you post a recipe (i.e., do you use all the add-ins for both mixes? What temp do you cook it at? etc.)

Well, yes, that would be what I said in my first comment. You consider it perfectly acceptable that the law doesn’t consider restraining and vaginally and anally raping a child to be a violent crime and lets child rapists go free because of it, to the point that you wrote a long comment explaining why no one else…

It is horrifying, nowhere did I say it was not

If the law allows child rapists to go free because it doesn’t consider rape violent, I’m going to have disagree with your assertion it’s “nothing to be disgusted/horrified by.” You may not consider it horrifying that tying a child down and forcibly vaginally and anally penetrating them isn’t legally considered a…

I’m mostly amazed by the blithe suggestion that raping a 13-year-old child is “nonviolent.”

That’s so tough. I’m sorry.

My original impetus for getting a dog was to have something that made me get out of the house every day — I struggle with depression and I was unemployed at the time, and I was going days without getting out of my pajamas. As it turned out I didn’t find Buster until I had a job, but he still basically saved my life.…

Also a single lady, and I’m not exaggerating when I say getting a dog was the best decision I ever made. It’s amazing how much it’s enriched my life.

I’ve seen people without dogs of their own at dog parks pretty often, and the only time I’ve noticed any side eye was when it was a guy trying to pick up women. When I was up in LA, one guy used to regularly bring his elementary-age son because the kid’s mom was allergic to dogs, and I’ve talked to people who come to…
