Update: The humans and dog all miss our boy very very much (we can’t read cats well, so unsure about them)… and as a bonus, these two have become extra clingy with the humans.

Thank you #UglyDogs for all your kind words ❤️
And Happy Thanksgiving in advance!
A dilute tortie and a yellow dog are curled up on a hexagonal dog bed together nose to tail. The cat has her eyes open and is looking up at the camera. The dog is fast asleep, facing away from the camera. There’s a gray throw on the bed that they’ve pushed to one side. They are ridiculously cute, even if I do say so myself.

Goodbye, my sweet boy 💔

#UglyDogs
Black pointer mix with expressive brown eyes is smiling into the camera. He is sitting on a green lawn with his shadow falling to the right. It is a bright day.

The roti wanters
#UglyDogs
A black pointer mix and a yellow Shar Pei mix are sitting on a runner very close together, with ears and shoulders touching. They are locked onto a piece of roti that I’m holding out to them. These poor beasts get by on the food scraps their humans give them once every few years, and this piece of roti could very well mean the difference between starvation and a full belly (for a few nanoseconds). The pic centers the dogs, but you can see some miscellaneous items in the background, such as a dog bed, swivel chair, and a brown coffee table with some clutter on it.

Hey #UglyDogs check out Norton’s new goggles!
A pointer mix is sitting on a somewhat patchy lawn. He is wearing wrap around doggie goggles in black and clearly not happy about it. A yellow dog is sniffing something in the background with his face turned away from the camera.

#Caturday
A top view of my legs stretched out on a reclining couch and covered with a crochet blanket in green and red. A tortie is snuggling in my lap and she has her face pointing away from the camera.

For #Caturday, all hail Izzie, the Magnanimous! See how she shares her bed with her pesky dogs 🙇🏽‍♀️
#UglyDogs
A calico cat and a yellow Shar-Pei mix dog are sharing a big oval dog bed covered in gray plush with a bolster running around it. The cat is curled up possessively on a Chewbacca dog toy and is staring at the camera. The dog is lying down against the other end of the bed. The bed is humongous and can easily fit another cat or medium sized dog. There is an unoccupied dog bed on a cot to the left and a plant to the right. The dog beds are on the floor next to a large window with a plant to the right.

Mal and MiniMal (no, that’s not her name, I’m waiting for inspiration)

Thank you @minnesotagirl.bsky.social for the #UglyDogs sticker!
Yellow Shar-Pei mix sitting reluctantly in front of the boot of an orange colored Mini Cooper. The car has an Ugly Dogs sticker on the bumper to the left.

We got a me-sized car FINALLY!!!
Pic of me leaning back against the (uncomfortably warm) hood of an orange mini cooper. The car is parked in a lot with other parked cars visible to either side. Behind it is a grassy open area. I’m wearing a black baseball cap with “The MOVEMENT” embroidered in red on the front, and a blue denim romper. You can’t tell from my expression but I’m ecstatic at finally driving a car I’ve wanted since I was a teenager, yay me! Also, and I can’t emphasize this enough, I AM TALLER THAN THE CAR!!!

I’m afraid there was a falling out
Same set up as the first pic, except the cat is now standing up stiff with her back arched, staring down at Chewbacca. Of course, in reality, she was just stretching before curling back up!

Izzie, the dogs want their bed ba…
#UglyDogs
A calico/ dilute tortie is lying on her side in a big gray plush dog bed. The bed has a big raised pillow running around it and also has miscellaneous soft toys in it. The cat has her back to the pillow and is cuddled next to a small Chewbacca toy which is face down next to her. You can see her head in three quarter profile and she appears to be snarling, displaying an impressive set of fangs. In reality, she’s just mid yawn and so tired of her human constantly taking pics of her…

I’m dying at the side eye Timmy is giving me but hey, I was super excited to meet my first moose 😂

(thank you to Katie for bringing the pups over 💙)

#UglyDogs
Pic of me with Timmy, who is a black and tan Alaskan Husky. I’m wearing a black baseball cap with an Iditarod Alaska 2025 patch. I’m crouching on the floor next to Timmy and holding his collar, with my face right next to his. Timmy was on Blair’s Iditarod team in 2019 and is a legend for his extraordinary size! My expression is one of pure delight while Timmy is giving me the side eye, not entirely sure of this crazy woman next to him!

One of the best pics I took today!

#UglyDogs #Qditarod
Jules and Q in profile. Jules is standing on his hind legs facing Q with his front paws on Q’s arm. He has his head turned towards the camera. Q is looking off to the left. They are standing in snow and a couple dog trucks are visible on the other side of the street.

People are getting a real education about leopards these days… like for instance, they do not change their shorts (GNU STP) and have questionable culinary tastes
From the r/Conservative sub on Reddit that I like to drop in on… I redacted the user names but this should be pretty easy to find. The OP was talking about some meltdown that Temu Stark had about H1B visas. Comments below. First user: “Fucking oligarchs. They truly believe they shouldn't be questioned by the little people. Elon and Vivek can get fucked amd if the GOP decides this is the road it's going down than the party can get fucked too l'm tired of politicians on all sides. This was like throwing fuel on a fire and these clowns aren't even in office yet.” Second user: “If Trump does not get Elon and Vivek and others under control, his base will erode very quickly. I am done with the conversation. This is an end game choice by Trump for many of us. He either stands with the MAGA base or he stands against them. His choice.”

Behold the marvel that is the dosa- this one has potato masala and onions inside!
📍Idli Street, Mississauga
A golden brown dosa on a white plate with sambhar in a small bowl and two kinds of chutney for dipping. Dosa is a popular South Indian food made like a crepe from rice based batter.

Met my niece cat this weekend!

#Caturday
A dilute tortie/ calico is doing a big stretch on a light brown ceramic tile floor. She is bowing in the direction of the camera with her butt up in the air. She has all her front claws extended for the stretch and is just a cute hand overall.

Reminds me of this 😂
Meme of an ancient Egyptian cat sculpture asking a tiny orange kitten. EC: “Do they still worship us, child?” OK: "Well, I shit in a box and they clean it." EC: "Good. Good."

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄

We don’t, so no tree to share but the first of my amaryllis is in bloom for the season 🙂
A closeup of red amaryllis flowers rising from their long stalks. There are four flowers in this cluster with bright red velvety petals and bright yellow pollen. Each flower is about 5” wide. In the background is a brown leather couch occupied by an old dog stretched out on his side with only his head visible. There are other miscellaneous things in the shot, such as a book and remote control on the coffee table with the flowers, and a stack of red and brown striped cushions on the top of the couch backrest.

Ancestry (for dogs) has a hilarious bug spitting out the same poodle/ wolf/ coyote results for all kinds of dogs! But even better might be their description of the wolf, citing Balto as a famous one 😂 (Togo erasure!!!)

Check out the r/doggyDNA sub on Reddit for more 😂

#UglyDogs
Ancestry results for a dog posted by u/oholibah in the r/doggyDNA sub. It shows 25% Poodle, 24% Wolf, 16% Anatolian Shepherd, 15% Boxer, 13% Coyote, 7% Alaskan Husky. “Today Today, Wolves are primarily kept as companion animals. They are popular among those who value loyalty, intelligence, and strength in their pets. They require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, and can be found living in homes all around the world. Famous Wolves include Balto, who became a hero after leading a team of sled dogs on a dangerous mission to deliver medicine during a blizzard in 1925. How to care! Exercise Wolves are highly active dogs and require plenty of exercise to remain healthy and happy. They benefit from daily walks and runs, as well as activities that challenge them mentally, such as obedience…” Source: petdna.ancestry.com

“You’ll be visited by the three spirits.”

The three spirits
Still from the 2015 Jurassic World movie showing three raptors ranged in a line in front of Chris Pratt’s character, who has his back to the camera with his arms spread out in a shushing or calming motion. The three raptors manage to convey a sense of nervous, barely controlled power even in the still photograph. They are looking at the guy in front of them like attentive wolves that are trying to decide if he is prey today.

I can’t find my cat anywhere, it’s a mystery!
Dilute tortie/calico cat is hiding (very poorly) behind beige vertical blinds. She is sitting on the window sill behind the blinds with her tail sticking out conspicuously. You can also see parts of her body and a very pink nose peeking out from between the blinds.

MN folks, do you all remember the MPR Raccoon?? I found the commemorative tote while cleaning my closet today!

#MPRRaccoon
A beige cotton tote is laid out on a brown couch. In the middle of the tote is a big red heart with a sketch of a raccoon over it in black. The text below the heart reads “#MPRRACCOON” in red on the first line and “Minnesota Public Radio” in smaller black font under it.
