My 14-year-old dog who has dementia and doesn't even know her own name when I pick her up and take her outside. I bring her back in. She still understands the word treat.😀

Last few weeks I’ve kept smelling toast, randomly, at home but out and about too, and I remember the myth that this might be a sign of a stroke so I go and check and every time it turns out someone’s actually making toast. There’s like an inordinate amount of toast being made, just to freak me out.

How'd my morning go you ask? Well, I'll tell ya.... Got up, showered, shaved, made coffee and turned on TV just in time to see an Oxford educated "senator" who acts like a hick discussing beastiality with a beady eyed sociopath. So.....interesting?

Wasn’t Craft the guy who got arrested at a florida massage parlor raid and didn’t get in any real trouble while the sex workers all got the book thrown at em? Or is that a different rich nfl owner?

Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer. Dean Koontz

Yes, people with dementia genuinely believe the confabulations their brains create. - Confabulation is not a conscious lie or an attempt to deceive. -The brain stitches together old memories, dreams, or mixed-up facts to form what it thinks is a true story.

Exhausted but I made the extra crispy fried chicken 🍗 🍜 🍽️

We lost our dear Thor pup yesterday. 11 beautiful years with this boy. He was the best big brother to my kids, and practically raised them - good dog Carl-style. Hearts are heavy over here today. RIP Thor, you legend 💔

i opened a can of mackerel and left it unattended on the counter while i used the restroom. big mistake. came back to see baby kitten Quark poised over the can with a big bite taken out. he had been dead asleep. or maybe it was a ploy to make me let my guard down. either way, he's a little thief!

Harry ran away. Harry is home now. Harry is grounded for life.

A kitty I saved 18 years ago from underneath a snowy Boston front porch is passing away today, and I’m so happy she had a good, happy, long life with my friend’s mom.

My cats would like for you to know that shooting fireworks for Labor Day is stupid.

Good morning pals, my chat with Dad over breakfast is complete, we’ve shared plans for the day. His seem a little more complicated than mine, glad I’m a kitty and can have multiple naps each day . Quick garden pawtrol then back to bed for me . Have a great day 😸 #adoptdontshop

It’s Butch! Photos from my collection, no date/info.

My dad used to think that putting 1:00 vs. 60 seconds on the microwave cooked it differently. I miss that crazy bastard 🕊️

I was so damned naive to think he wouldn’t be dancing to Trump’s fiddle the way he is.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress, DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

The NBA-Clippers story is a story about two things working better than recent years have led us to expect: the ability of journalism to hold power and money to account and the willingness of an institution to do the same. It also serves as a reminder that those two things should be linked.

Someone slept too long and wrinkled her whiskers...

One of the best moments of this Reform sting is where Dan Jukes basically says, “Oh, that particular crime? We’ve done that loads of times. Let me name all the donors who’ve made illegal donations to us…”

Just when you thought there was nothing Mamdani could do to make Bluesky love him more:

Cassandra Wilson was one of our most gifted vocalists, just an unreal talent. Here is my obituary for NPR Music. (I believe I’ll also be on the broadcast later this evening.)

Cassandra Wilson, Grammy-winning jazz vocalist, dies at 70

Wilson, who's deep, dark contralto was one of the most distinctive voices in jazz, died on Wednesday in her hometown of Jackson, Miss.

Them Chinese restaurants with the rude staff and 40 year old food pictures have the best food.

I had forgotten how nice it feels to have a kitten resting on one’s chest.

You don't have to be stellar to be seen. You don't have to perform for anyone. You don't have to be perfect. It's the smaller parts of you that attracts others. Your kindness, your heart, your smile, your laugh. Do you love pets, do you read, do crafts? Those are the things we all relate to.
