Nibbler and Pippin at their last spaw day. Throw aways make the best fosters. Foster, adopt, donate.

Early voting today in Virginia. Make a difference and vote!

Don't buy from a backyard breeder. Poor Oliver has no surgical options that will allow him to defecate normally. He has genetic megacolon and wears a diaper because he constantly leaks stool. He's a handsome devil but breeding for looks and not health is bad.

COVID and flu vaccines done! Get them now. I remember each and every person I took care of as a hospice physician who had COVID or the flu what they needed to be comfortable at the end of life. Perhaps Mr. Kennedy would like to join me at bedside for our next pandemic

You know when the economy sucks when a 3 pound Chihuahua is found as a stray. Meet Nibbler. Ancient, no teeth, skinny but sweet. She's why I continue to foster.

This is why I foster. Good is out there. This couple adopted their second senior shih tzu from Lost Fantasy Rescue. If you're looking for a companion for life's adventures check out www lostfantasystables.org

Welcome Murphy to my home for wayward seniors. Murph is ancient. Bad arthritis bad teeth bad hearing. His owners let him wander on the street in rural Virginia

Sweetie says there's nothing like quality time with a favorite toy

Not an oldster but a pup with medical needs. Meet Oliver, product of a backyard breeder with spinal deformities and megacolon. The Oldsters are showing this youngster how to behave. Diaper because he has fecal incontinence.

I am a child of immigrants. Immigrants who died under the thumb of railroad barons. One ancestor died in a cave-in building the Pacific Railroad in Montana. My great grandparents were married in Havre Montana in a railroad camp. Thinking of all immigrants and their contributions made.

14 million: the number of deaths that are expected by 2030, as the State Department takes over programs that were previously run by USAID. Many political leaders, including former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, called the decision a “colossal mistake.”

$12 million: the value of contraceptives and HIV-prevention meds the Trump administration is reportedly set to destroy. Purchased by USAID for developing countries, the drugs have been sitting unused in warehouses since the agency was nearly dismantled in January.

This is the treatment detainees at CECOT are subjected to. Your taxpayer dollars are paying for this. Your dollars are paying for torture

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

Little Reed the senior doxie. Rushed him to the Vet ER last week and am so happy to have him home feeling better. These Oldsters steal your heart. He had respiratory issues that were a mystery. Science and vet medicine always looks for answers to make life better. Wish others understood that

mashable.com/video/jimmy-... Oldie but a goodie. Nixon never got the chance to get away with the things Trump has. Makes one wonder where the moral compass is of the MAGA crowd

An oath of office is more than an archaic promise to God. It is an oral contract w/ the public, a term of employment, requiring our servants to obey the law & uphold our Constitution. MAGA shills declaring loyalty to Trump first, have violated their oaths already.

If you donate to your local PBS station, you can get PBS passport which unlocks access to a library of programming. I dumped my Amazon Prime membership and donates the same amount to my local PBS station. I can stream high quality documentaries and know that my money isn't going to an oligarch.

Latest foster. His name is Reed. His daddy died and family didn't want him. If you're looking for a copilot and wingman he is your dog

It’s been attributed to Liz Cheney, apparently by mistake, but it appears it was actually written by a Dr. Pru Lee. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Cracks in the veneer are appearing. Wonder if they'll turn on each other. Hope their paranoia and incompetence helps us oppose them www.newsweek.com/dan-caldwell...

New foster to be Reed. 12 years old and lost his daddy. Owners family didn't want him and brought him to the shelter. I'm a sucker for a sweet face. Welcome buddy

And on a happy note Callie was adopted yesterday by a family that had adopted a cardiac dog from me who was one of the sweetest schnoodles ever. Callie is such a lucky girl!

Welcome to the pack Pippin. Pippin came from a SW Virginia shelter where she had been dropped off by a family that didn't want her. She's an older gal at 10yo. Economic stress results in animal homelessness and now in SW Virginia the need is great. No evidence it will get better in the future

Rocky and Callie relaxing as we participate in a call held by our democratic representative about the proposed Federal Budget. We know where he stands- firmly against the bill. Find out where your representative stands and tell them to oppose any bill that calls for cuts to important services

You Are Sane If you are terrified, you are SANE. If you are crying, you are SANE. If you are anxious, you are SANE. If you are traumatized, you are SANE. If you are grieving, you are SANE. If you are depressed, you are SANE. What’s happening is INSANE. But YOU ARE SANE. You are sane.

Well well well...another opportunity to SPAM the opposition. Answered one Heritage survey and they emailed me another. Please spread the joy. Click here to start your survey now: secured.heritage.org/7-priorities...

u24.gov.ua/donate. I donated to try and wash the bad taste out of my mouth from that repugnant display. But what happened will not be erased and is part of a larger history of American "states craft". And when I can I will donate again. Because everyone deserves freedom from tyranny.

Rescue I volunteer for takes in some super cute pups. We're bracing for more owner surrenders as things get hard. Picture of wild thang Rascal who is with another foster

Cuteness break. Picture of Rocky and Callie enjoying each other's company. Wishing things could be simple again but knowing we are far beyond normal now.

This is a great time to remember this.

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

New fosters Callie and Barney. Older owners couldn't care for them any longer. They are super sweet pupperinos

Long term foster Sweetie. She's a lover and a biter 😀

Relaxing after a long day with the cutest senior foster ever
