We recently adopted (after fostering) a 13yo senior doggo and it was the best idea we’ve had in awhile. He’s so stinkin cute and grateful, and fits right in with our other two pups that we raised from scratch and are now 10 & 15. If I was there I’d snatch this angel up in a second!!

Trump has taken a look at North and South Korea and concluded that Kim Jong Un and the North Koreans are the good guys and we should be with them. Fuck MAGA.
