The US military is now willing to carry out illegal acts of war for a demented grifter president. How far we have fallen as a country. I am ashamed to be an American today.

The War President begins 2026 as he means to carry on.

Mr Fox 🦊 was not only one of the very first dogs Niall ever fed in the moped (he was in the first 6) but also the first to ever get sterilized. To see him now in the snow in America with his wonderful forever family is a thing of pure joy.

Harrison reached 85 degrees today which is not only a record for the date, but is also the highest temperature ever recorded for the month of December. The previous daily record of 75° was set in 1971 while the all time monthly record was 82 degrees previously set on Dec 24th, 1955. #arwx

Ever have a favorite book? I've lost count of the number of time I have purchased this book. I have loaned it to friends & it never comes back. The last time I loaned my copy out was to the nursing home administrator in 2021. Bought two - one as a gift and one for myself this year. #GED

Contentment for Teller and I

Huge rain here today but that doesn’t stop these 2. Stormzy was told he had to be put to sleep 2 months ago with his brain damage and Big Red was shot 5 times. Would you just look at them now. That’s the joy of being alive❤️

Teller update. Area no longer warm or tender with swelling a lot better. A great Christmas present 💝

This boy badly needed our help today. To anybody who comments on my posts / shares / supports my work this is the only way I can say thanks. By using the good will and support to spend time helping the dogs who need it most and who have no one. Have a lovely holidays 💕
