We are heading to my MIL for 2nd Thanksgiving and Harper is experiencing one of her least favorite things - a road trip.

It's hard having anxiety when you are a puppy of very little brain. #uglydogs
A black dog in a gray and blue harness rests on top of a Flyers sweater in the backseat of a car. Her face is turned up into the sun, but her ears are back and she's panting.

Sold! Thank you!! Harper says thank you to Dr K for demonstrating being a good boy in his cone.

You need an ulu knife next!
An Alaskan ulu knife is on a wood cutting board. The handle of the ulu is brown and red. The blade is Damascus steel. Ulu's are rocker knives that can be used for almost anything.

Yancy is ridiculously photogenic. Has been since he was a little nugget.
A tiny leopard tabby kitty is sitting on a bed. He has his mouth open and he looks like he is smiling and happy. He just pooped on the bed, so he is very excited about that.

Oh! Oh! I had a bad night too and am working from bed. May I offer you a kitty in this trying time?
A large leopard tabby with green eyes lies on a bed. The blanket is an olive green. He is looking directly at the camera, resting on a roll of bubble wrap and a t-shirt. Behind him is an open closet and a Wooly Mammoth from Bob's Burgers.

Ok, this ended up like this on my feed right now. They kind of look amazing together.
Two posts from mox of their artwork. The top image has a dark center, with a crescent around it, and then a larger circle with nothing in it. The last circle almost looks like static. The bottom image is vertical lines with varying space between them. To me, they look like they go together.

Big Sunday plans for the bye week.
An empty rainbow colored pill box sits in front of an assortment of pill bottles, 2 big bottles of gummy vitamins, a remote, a Renpho eye mask that is charging, and in the very back of the picture is a bottle of Sol de Janeiro lotion.

Everyone, stop and look at this very important photo of my cat.
A leopard tabby cat is sleeping hard on a green textured blanket. It's a close-cropped shot focusing on his pink nose and fuzzy chin. He has a window open to hear and smell the world and he is very happy.

Ok, I am sending a signal fire up.

See this picture? My kid wants to cosplay as Sumireko. I have done costumes out of cardboard, but I can't sew.

I think I can find a similar dress, but the cape is the key.

Does anyone know a person who wants a commission to make a cape?
#cosplay
Sumireko is an anime style character with brown hair and glasses. She is wearing a purple, pink, and white plaid dress and pink kneesocks with bows. She has a big black cape that has runes on the inside in red and white. There are skulls, a crystal ball, and rune cards floating around her.

This little man getting some epic face rubs before bed. And this little thread by Michael Stipe dropping the details on long-argued REM lyrics.
A tabby cat is getting g some really good face rubs. His eyes are slitted, and he has his mouth open a bit. No drool yet! A Bluesky thread Michael Stipe: Ok it's 'feed off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in the fire representing seven games, government for hire and a combat site.' Michael Stipe: And Mike Mills wrote the lyrics to Rockville. I just sang it. Michael Stipe: I actually changed ot to 'a way to shield the hated heat' because that was much better. Michael Stipe: Any other lyrics - don't even try with chronic town murmur or reckoning btw- just form vowels and syllables, and mean it.

No cheating post the last photo of your pet.
A black dog sploots on the ground in a patch of grass and dirt. She is very happy and looking around her territory and sniffing the air. Her name is Harper and she is a bit sausage shaped, but full of love and anxiety.

Agreed.
A leopard tabby cat lies in a pile of soft powder blue sweaters and towels, which forms the dog's nest and his bakery. He has his paws crossed, and he is looking at something off to the side. His eyes are very green.

Right?! Also ugly.
A picture of a white Pontiac Fiero. We had one when I was a kid that looked just like this. It sat in our driveway and rotted. My dad and I both used it as our secret cigarette smoking place.

No cheating: your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist.

I'm fucked.
A photo of Emperor Palpatine. He would not be a very good therapist.

I hope everyone is having a good night.
A large leopard tabby named Yancy sleeps against his One True Love, the air purifier tower. Underneath him is a feather toy, and his current trash obsession - a paper shipping envelope. He is very happy and content with his dragon horde of riches.

Monday challenge: post the least flattering photo you have of your pet.
A very round leopard tabby cat on his back is lying on a brown heating pad and a brown ripple mat. He is surrounded by various toys. His name is Yancy and he is a very good boy. He was found in our basement wall at 2 weeks old. His head alone is bigger then he was when we found him. Harper, a black schipperke/pitty mix is on the bed, licking a blue bowl. This is her job, and she takes it very seriously. There is a piece of cinnamon toast crunch on her snoot right between her eyes.

Please share every single silly picture of Adonis you want. I will offer a very silly picture of Yancy as a teeny baby in trade.
A very tiny leopard tabby kitten stands with his paws on a Kindle tablet. He was about 2.5 weeks old here, found in a wall, and bottle-fed by us. His name is Yancy, and he is now 3 and 28 lbs of cat.

Look at him, Sass. Does he really need food?
A very large leopard tabby sits in a perfect loaf in front of his full food bowl - which is how he likes it.

Sass, mommy said I'm not allowed to eat my brother's food because "cat food is bad for me." If it's so bad, why does it taste so good?
A black dog hides her face in her paws. Her name is Harper, and she was just scolded for eating her brother's food. Empty bowl behind her as evidence.

We have a hot pink shoelace and a black one over here!

We are big fans of getting toasty in the sun.
A black dog relaxes in the grass in a full sploot. It's sunny and her coat is shining.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.
A still from season 7 of Archer. From L-R: Alan Shapiro wearing a white suit (guest character from this season), Pam and Cheryl in blue dresses with white aprons, Lana on a red mini sweater dress, Archer wearing a pink baby doll nightie tied around his waist and nothing else, Mallory in high waisted orange pants and a green dress shirt. She is wearing dark sunglasses and has a trench coat over her shoulder. Finally Cyril is wearing a blue suit. Krieger and Ray are not in this picture, but they are very much on the team. Maybe they are in engineering. Or the holodeck.
