Is there a dog lover out there who would like this book? I'll send it anywhere in the U.S.

Just comment on this post. If there are a lot of people, then I will do a random draw.

One of my best friends in elementary school had a pinto. She would inhale and hold her breath while being saddled. We would ride double and all of a sudden be slowly slipping sideways. 😂

Today is my hubs birthday. He is my #DelightOfTheDay.
He is kind and funny and caring and generous. He takes care of me when he doesn't have to. He handles my quirks and opinions and introversion. He takes Charlie when I need to do something that is against her rules.

I am lucky to have him!

Holy Hannah - apparently they spread manure on the fields along 35E north of St Paul. 🤢

Pretty terrible game and not much pagentry for their 25th home opener, but the people in the fancy section next to us got cotton candy in champagne glasses. 😂

We still call it the X. This was the 1st time I'd seen the new signage.

Yep. They spent many millions to prevent gay marriage. 🤬

It is a serious beer. Which is why I ordered the 5oz. 😂

#MnWild home opener day!

And my #DelightOfTheDay is the Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout from Bad Weather Brewing.

@kittehofdovrefjel.bsky.social and Katy - wish you were here!
A 5oz tulip glass branded with the Bad Weather Brewing Co logo. It's half filled with a dark beer.

I had a tiel who LOVED peas. I made her eat them in a dish towel and she wasn't allowed to move off the towel until I wiped her face...because she would fly to my shoulder and rub her pea face behind my ear. 😂

Either way is probably fine. They may have places to get food in bulk at a better rate. Or they may know they need more of a specific variety.

I donated through their link but somehow missed the comment box. They can use it for whatever they need. ❤️

Thankfully I don't use them as often as I can...so I have a couple in reserve.

I get inhalers from a pharmacy overseas. 90 days worth got destroyed due to missing info for customs. Pharmacy didn't seem concerned - they just reshipped it.
