Antares Leask @drtares.bsky.social · 16/06/2025I have not made any effort to watch the live action version. 🤣 #HATM #LadyAndTheTramp 030

Antares Leask @drtares.bsky.social · 16/06/2025We have to get dog licenses (and pay for them), but they list one of my dogs twice and they think my cat is a Pit Bull...so not a perfect system. #HATM 040

Reposted by Antares LeaskSkyla Dawn Cameron @skyladawn.ca · 23/01/2025Hey, if you have cats, here's a great life hack: Put down your phone, go to your bed and lie down, and just let the cats pile around or on top of you (if they're aloof, a heated blanket will make them come over) and just lie there while they purr. That's how you touch grass in winter. 515634
