Thank you. He was sweet and snuggly and slow and incredibly dumb and he thought the world revolved around me. I miss that old gray face more than I can say.

She moved in to help with the kids when the President and First Lady were traveling or occupied with official duties; they didn’t want to have a nanny. She had been doing that during the campaign, and went to Washington when the family went. I think it was a two-birds-one-stone thing because it also took care of the…

Every time I do that, I want to slap myself upside the head as punishment. All it does is piss me off that people can be so fucking stupid.

The REALLY annoying thing about “But Grandma” is that the First Family pays for their own groceries. So Grandma cost....what? The price to have someone clean her bedroom every once in a while? You can’t tell me that if Barron ever lives in the WH, they won’t have a minder for him whose room will need to be…

I’m so, so sorry. I lost my Rudy about a year ago at 11. He was “that dog” - I will never have another like him. Here he is with an Emmett photo bomb. Hugs to you - it really sucks.

I am keeping you both in my thoughts. It really sucks when they get older. Sending virtual hugs your way.

Hobbes looks like he’s smart enough to do my taxes. Such an intelligent face!

I love cats in boxes. :)

OMG I love this. My dogs are idiots about 3/4 of the time. It’s almost impossible to get a normal picture of them.

He looks very dignified!

These are my pups Gus (poodle) and Henry (Chihuahua), my cats Bob (the big tabby), Emmett (small Abyssinian mix) and Oswald (tuxedo kitty who actually recently passed away of kidney disease and broke my heart), and our birds Elliott (green/yellow - she’s 30 years old) and Oliver (who is 15 years old). In other news,…

Yep - same situation here. Insufferable prick, really.

You’re not my daughter, are you? (And I’m actually only half joking.)

My cats do the same thing with the back of the couch, except it’s leather so they don’t leave hair behind. Except they all sleep in a pile so the cushions are permanently smooshed down and deformed. Like this (and wow, those pics are huge, sorry):

I feel like there should be a sign-up sheet somewhere: Put your name on sheet #1 if you want your tax money to pay for Melania’s fucking tower in Midtown. Put your name on Sheet #2 if you want your tax money to FEED HUNGRY CHILDREN. Seriously, how is this even a question we’re debating??!!

Oh, don’t worry, I call or email at least 2-3 times a week on different issues. I’m pretty sure they know my name over there. Our Senators are both Dems, so I slip some supportive emails in there, too.

Lovely. They really have no idea who they work for, do they? The problem is that Huizenga is pretty safe here in West Michigan, where you can’t walk three feet without running into a church, and he knows it. Huizenga was trying to get away with “TeleTownHalls” until enough people screamed at him, but so far he’s only…

Thank you, too, and thanks for not calling my daughter a cunt like another couple of commenters. It really was more involved than one incident, and she really isn’t a bully. I appreciate the civil disagreement.

Why, thank you!

Thank you. :)
