Has now settled in her big dog bed. Here's a photo from earlier. Snoring now, I'm going to try as well.

I lifted her onto the bed. Mayhem ensued. After a while she jumped off. Then she asked for butt scritches, now she is once again grousing at me.

She is stumping around the bed looking for an elevator

"Listen lady, if you would just lift me onto the bed I wouldn't have to stand by your head grunting all night." - Zooey

Now grunting her disapproval of my shutting her in her crate. I swear she is a small pig-dinosaur. Makes up for the grumbling by being SUPER cute and affectionate.

You can also take a dog on a field trip at APA. Less than a day but out of the shelter. Dog friendly bar, trail run, coffee shop. You make notes on their behavior in different scenarios (shop, car, walking) and they get a change of pace, and maybe a treat!

My boss gave us an unexpected day off, so I popped into APA on the way home and scooped up a senior lady for a break. Even a night of cuddles and belly rubs and soft bedding and quiet makes a restful break.

Ban them

Hey remember when they blew up their own launch pad earlier this year

And without appropriate flood risk mitigation or regulatory oversight

My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.
