It’s so weird. It’s like something in between. She sheds a little, but not much. It’s kind of poofy. I have to get it cut a lot. The groomers are consistently stumped by what to do with it because of the weirdness.

I have kids and a wooden table with no trouble. Granted they are extra tame children. But anyways, as I said elsewhere it’s not the thing itself but the sheer size of it.

Yes, she’s Yorkie with a bit of Pom. Puppy is from the SPCA. They said her mom looked like an Aussie Shepherd. She has that personality. But probably mixed with a million other things. Most shelter dogs here have rottie, pittie, black lab mixed in.

I don’t think it’s part of the couch because of the books on it. It is just the biggest ottoman in the history of time.

Oh yeah, I’m all for an ottoman. It’s really the size of it. It took my brain a while to see it as something other than a large velour blanket on the floor.

I really hope it’s just a giant wooden coffee table.

They have a bed for a coffee table.

The one on the left is a fully grown 2 year old dog and the one on the right is a 4 month old puppy. :P

This is a valuable life lesson. My stepsister’s kid broke his leg this summer and he was barely over a year. It happens, doctors.

Siblings seem to be a common one. Mine is going to see my brother at the hospital when I was 2. I can remember looking up at the baby crisper (or what most people call a bassinet).

Juvenile 1 year olds are often misunderstood by the always mature 2.5 year olds. :P

I’m glaring at the snow in my backyard now.

I’m a little stabby in the right ovary, but good otherwise. Sorry about your tummy.

Date night! Flights of beer! Time to put the 5lbs I just lost back on!

I don’t know where she was but she says people were sitting there discussing the election as they voted! Blew my mind.

That is completely fucked. I don’t know American rules, but here the rules are very strict and the ballots go directly in the box. Nobody can look at them.

I’m lucky because I grew up in a place where it was quite the opposite. My FIL was a school bus driver there for decades and now he’s the manager. He runs a tight ship. He’s Santa for the kids and angry Viking for the drivers. Lol. But I think the main difference is they are public employees working for the school…

Responsibility does not equal ownership. And as I say, if you keep up your end of the parenting bargain there shouldn’t be a problem. If you want to know what gender your kid presents as at school, don’t wait for a goddam letter. Talk to your kids. If I found out my kid was a girl at school and a boy at home, I…

The general precaution is to have the man person handle the poos. If anyone was going to get toxoplasmosis, it would be me. I’m all about my kitties. But I went off litter duty and there you go. People are not getting it just from having a cat living in what is probably a very large home where technically you could…

Am parent. Had three cats before my kids were born. Still have them. Do not understand. Sigh.
