Who needs useful news when this stuff is so much more fun?
.
.
Perhaps… but I think I’d rather sit quietly in the corner thank you very much.
.
.
Because I can think of no one else I’d want rattling around in my brain.
😳
.
.
That’s got to be one tired momma.
Damn.
.
.
My husband has often spoken of the crotch rot that was a common servicemen’s affliction during the Vietnam War…. but pandemic pelvis? Nope. That’s a new one to me.
.
.
If Lord Dudley Mountcatten wasn’t absolutely terrified of dogs, I’d be planning a weekend getaway here.
.
.
How wonderful is that?
.
.
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.
.
.
I do.
I really do.
❤️

If you’ve ever loved a dog?
Hell, even if you haven’t… please watch this video all the way though before you read my post. It’s 7 minutes of your life well spent. I promise.
Grab the tissues.
I’ll wait.
.

The husband and I have been there, although it was winter and only a few four legged visitors were romping around.
.
.
The chapel is small…
.
.
But bursting at the seams with love.
.
.
And when they said every square inch is filled with layers of pictures, letters, notes and expressions of grief?
.
.
They meant it.
.
.
I wept the entire time I was inside.
.
.
Look around…
.
.
How could you not?
If you’ve ever loved and lost a dog, or any animal for that matter… this quiet, unassuming, solemn place will grab your heart and tug. The outpouring of love, loss and grief is positively palpable from the moment you cross the threshold.
.

I’m not a religious person… but there’s something otherworldly about this building on that little mountain in Vermont.
Something beautiful… and almost spiritual.
If you’re ever near St. Johnsbury, please go experience it for yourself. And don’t forget to bring a picture of that special someone who’s no longer walking by your side.
❤️
.
.
Because it’s more fun than the kind you can.
.

I know staffing shortages around the country are bad, but… wow.
.
.
This is good news, but it does make me wonder who studies these things… and how they got a worm to spit on command.
.
.
Worm spittoons. Does Amazon sell those…?
.
.
I’m going to pay $75 for an animal that eats dried poop in the park? No.
.
.
I can’t find my own umbrella when it rains, now I’m supposed to remember my phone’s?
.
.
Should we?
.
.
This is a little disturbing.
.
.
Makes me glad I never developed a taste for it.
.
.
It won’t take much time.
I promise.

This is an easy one for me. Calves liver with onions. My parents were fans, but I’ve been known to run screaming from the room at the mere sight of it. Basically any organ meat will elicit a similar reaction, but my mother cooked this on a regular basis so I had lots of practice avoiding it.
Liver tonight? Gee mom, I can’t. Softball practice.
Liver? Sorry mom, art club meeting.
Dessicated cow organs? I’d love to… but the circus is in town and they need a new elephant handler.
Any excuse would do. But she got wise after a while and decided to force me to eat it one night. Silly woman, thinking she could out stubborn 10 year old me.
She served dinner… I ate the potatoes and vegetables and left the liver untouched. She told me I would eat it. I told her I would not. She said I couldn’t get up from the table until it was gone. I said no problem and settled in for the night. If I wouldn’t eat it freshly cooked and hot did she really think I’d eat it cold and congealed?
The war of wills had begun, but after an hour and a half my father… ever the peacemaker…. let our notorious food stealing beagle in the back door and I ( accidentally, of course ) dropped my plate on the floor.
Bye bye liver.
My mother lost that battle and never tried to force me to eat it again. She did continue to serve it though.
🤢
How about you? What meal haunted your childhood dinner table…
.

Sorry, I just have to share the other half of these.
They’re too good not to.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Am I right, or am I right?
.
.
I try not to over share silly things I find online, but sometimes I simply have to.
We’ve all heard stories about pet owners who resemble their dogs or cats… heck I had an elderly aunt who was a dead ringer for her standard schnauzer, mustache et al. …. but I found a post from a photographer who took this subject to a whole other level.
No captioning necessary, just enjoy.
.

.
.
.
Are these fabulous or what?
.
.
You can’t use it, but if it entertains you… I’ll settle for that.
.
.
That’s something you don’t see everyday.
.
.
I’ll take him for a seat companion any day.
.
.
I’ve probably seen them all already, but sure.
.
.
My husband plogs every time we walk. He even carries a trash bag in his pocket.
.
.
Clever ad campaign, but I’m still only buying two shoes at a time.
.
.
Good on you Fido. I’m sure you would have beaten me as well.
.
.
Being an animal lover, my eye is always drawn to stories and articles in which they feature.
.

My girlfriend caught Covid in the first wave. It was a really bad time for her but thankfully she didn’t need to be hospitalized. She is however suffering many long Covid effects. Brain fog, hair thinning and worst of all … loss of taste and smell. It’s been almost two years and still nothing. She says the only flavor that breaks through is salt. Can you imagine only tasting salt for two years? I’m crossing my fingers for the hamsters.
.
.
Shame I can’t talk the husband into it. He’s a pretty boy…
.
.
This made my heart smile. Every store/business should adopt a shelter dog!
.
.
A random chicken is loose in our town. I shall update the post if he struts by our house.
.
.
Dogs of the world? Unite and bite your owners… at least the ones who invented and sell this nonsense.
.
.
And if you think that’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen today, hang on. It gets worse.
.
.
While the chihuahua dog umbrella might seem cute, let’s visualize the Great Dane sized version and move on.
.
.
I didn’t click on this oddity so I can’t relay any details. I get enough weirdo advertisements as it is, exploring canine penile wraps would take me down a dark tunnel I’d just as soon not visit.
🤣
