Oops 😬
Finally did a bit more research and it turns out it’s a Chinese mantis, which is invasive and if I see her again, I should probably kill her

Our mantis friend is still hanging out on the garage door. She’s big, probably about 6” long.
To be honest, I kind of feel bad for her, knowing her time is coming to an end .

I mean, it would be wrong to not use said money for its intended purpose

Well the reason I was looking over my finances is because I am hoping to get a new car next year.
And I just put new brakes & rotors on my current car, so that’s sort of spoiling.

The difference between Rory and Finley is astonishing. Rory’s like, are there ice crystals on my fur? No, then I’m fine.
Meanwhile Finley, well we had some hail today while I was saying goodbye to my parents and he ran to the door and whined to be let inside.

When faced with undeniable evidence like this, I guess I have to believe!

This reminds me of a German comedian where he does a bit on “is it autism, or are they German?”

Wonderful, approximately five hours after getting home I only now realize that Rory‘s cute little role at the end of our adventure (while I was doing a tick check on Finley) was him rolling in 💩
Going to clean his neck off now

Happy Saturday frens! Today we went to a big farm and got to explore the fields and woods for a couple of hours! 🧵

Three dogs walk away from camera down a grass and dirt path. On the left is rows of corn and on the right is trees of various fall colors

Three dogs lay in the grass looking at the camera. The dog on the left, Finley is light brown with darker brown markings, a reddish nose and hazel eyes. In the middle is Rory, I red and white dog with light blue eyes. And the right is Hudson, a light brown hound-type dog with a graying face

So proud of everyone! The NYPD confirmed that rallies across the city have ended with no arrests. It’s getting harder and harder for Trump to sell his propaganda.

My annoyance is more at the knowledge that our site director didn’t REALLY look into it. I think they just read the HR policy and called it at that rather than actually speaking to somebody in HR for clarification.

Jen @runnjen.bsky.social · 8d

I’m not going to argue with them. But yes, I almost want to reply with “you know this would also look good for you too, right? Give the perception that you care about employees mental well-being”

Jen @runnjen.bsky.social · 8d

Which yes 💯 on board with that
But I’m not asking to bring him to work. I’m asking about a ‘special event’ where he and I hang out in a conference room for an hour and people can stop by and pet if they so choose.

I just responded with that’s disappointing but thanks for looking into it.

They responded with the HR Policy:
“only service dogs specifically trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability are allowed on premises. Dogs who are merely pets or whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals”

I finally sent over an email to my office’s facility-lead about having Rory come in as a Therapy dog and they’re looking into it! 🤞

I’ve had the email in my drafts for a while, but needed to clarify some legal-stuff*

Everyone has to have their skills, and apparently one of mine is walking a hound, a perfect angel, and a gremlin all at the same time without anyone dying
