Of course!
Just like at 5am when she woke up Mr Kat to go out, he left the room for a minute and she innocently and cutely came up and smothered my face with hers and then crawled under the covers into his spot 🤭

#DogsOfBluesky I know this is a long shot, and I don’t recall whether I’ve asked before, but my cousin had to give up his 3 yr old brindle Great Dane named Tigger. He lived in Tobaccoville, NC. I’d love to just know that Tigger is doing well. He is a lovely, gentle giant.

Ukrainian media are being briefed that President Zelenskyy does indeed NOT know the exact text of amendments to the 'peace plan' for fear of his, or his delegation's, phone/video calls being tapped.
Lead negotiator Rustem Umerov is bringing the document personally.

Trumpty Dumpty once again putting the knife in to Zelenskyy tonight.
The thing elected U.S. president tries desperately to undermine the Ukrainian leader saying "his people love" the peace proposals, Russia agrees with it, but insinuating Ze can't be bothered to read it.

I was awarded the Tradewinds Blackbeard award last night for sharing allergy pills, anti-itch creme and pointing out a large sting ray to another passenger while snorkeling.
Now I choose the next recipient and pass the award on at dinner.

Can I just say, on the record, that the idea that Mr Milquetoast Fleece Vest Glenn Youngkin would be more of a vicious concentration camp building, citizen deporting Nazi than Kristi Noem is so bonkers that I do not know what kind of game that Ghoul Steven Miller is playing at.

We did a drift snorkel today. Captain Keegan took us out in the dinghy and dropped us off. We drifted with the current back towards the boat. I was drifting too fast so I kept swimming against the current to look again. 😂
We had Captain's Cocktails on the fly bridge and said goodnight to the sun

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

Dec 5, 1929 Alaskan hero TOGO took his last breath. While he was eclipsed in the media by Balto, Togo was the true hero lead dog of the life saving serum run- running the most miles, covering some of the most dangerous trail, doing so at a fast pace at age 12.

Thank you. It was fairly expected, she had advanced Alzheimer's and had been deteriorating since the summer. It has been hard on my grandad. We've all just been bumbling through the best we can.
I am about to go away for a couple of weeks though, so I'll share any sea puppies I find.
