FUN DOG FACT: A Rottweiler’s mouth is a portal to the Dimension of Infinite Drool. A single Rottweiler can fill an Olympic-sized pool with drool in less than 30 minutes.
A large doofus of a Rottweiler dog laying on the grass. He’s wearing a name tag that reads “Tank.” Not a thought in his large head. Not pictured: the ocean of drool he leaves everywhere.

Слава Україні! 🇺🇦 Kramarczuk’s Deli in Minneapolis never fails to have the best Ukrainian food. The sausages are amazing, the borsch is excellent, and the cabbage rolls are divine.

Our cat got out tonight and hasn’t come back. My daughter is distraught. This has been a very tough year on us all, and losing Bear would be terrible. If you are the praying type, we would appreciate it.
Bear, a black cat who we love ever so much and just want to come home.

My origin video game? It's amazing how much they got out of the limited hardware of the C64. A twisted sense of humor, some ridiculous puzzles, and pretty decent graphics for the early 8-bit era. I don't think I ever actually finished it, though.

For the many criticisms of GW Bush, after 9/11 he stood up and said clearly that Islam was not our enemy. Could you imagine Trump saying anything like this? Could you imagine how he would fan the flames of hatred? We have fallen a lot as a country in the 25 years since 9/11.
[22] I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the world. We respect your faith. It’s practiced freely by many millions of Americans and by millions more in countries that America counts as friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah. The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself. The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them.
