Mostly I take care of Dash. When he gives me time off I read.

Sunday is the perfect day for patrol with my humans.

Good news from the doctor. My blood work shows that my thyroid is fine, so the skin flakes are probably just a new food sensitivity. The bad news is I am on restricted treats until they figure out what is causing the problem. 🥺 #Won’tLookWednesday

My humans took me to the vet. He stole some blood! 😢 Something was said about checking my thyroid. I’m definitely owed both treats and an extra long patrol for this.

I have seen a purple cow. Yes I’ve really seen one. I can tell you exactly how You don’t want to be one. Because you’ll be tossed aside and forgotten the moment Mum says treat.

Another thing about rooms that move: I know rooms sometimes move. Why do they think I get so worried when they close the bathroom door?

My new home has a room that moves. My humans were worried about how I would respond, but I think it’s completely normal for the door to open on a different place than it was when it closed. I don’t know why they thought I would be bothered.

I’m lying here, weak with hunger, and all my humans will do is say “It’s 15 minutes till dinner.” That’s forever! I may not last that long.

3. No system that runs the risk of disenfranchising legitimate voters to stop a minuscule potentiality of irrelevant illegal votes being counted is worth pursuing. 4. If the GOP wants voter ID, then they should promote a system that is truly universal, free for all citizens, and is easy to obtain.

Mum was supposed to take a plane trip tomorrow, but the person she was going to visit had an emergency and asked her not to come. I’m sorry for them, but tea glad Mum is going to be home.

I just got gentle pets from a little girl. Mum said I was very good and gentle with her so I get extra treats. 😁

On today’s patrol, I found half a sandwich. When Mum told me to drop it, I did. But after she rewarded me with treats, she wouldn’t let me pick it up again! This is my reaction: a sit-down strike. I’m not moving till I get a guarantee that a sandwich will be delivered.

Mum thinks this tiny traffic cone is cute, but she also if someone doesn’t see the big tree stump then they won’t see the traffic cone. I’m just disappointed that the cone is bolted on and I can’t take it home for a toy.

Hubble Spies Charming Spiral Galaxy Bursting with Stars - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/q2fTri
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observes some of the most beautiful galaxies in our skies — spirals sparkling with bright stellar nurseries, violent duos ripping gas and stars away from one another as they tangle together, and ethereal irregular galaxies that hang like flocks of birds suspended in the blackness of space.

However, galaxies, like humans, are not all supermodels. This little spiral, known as NGC 4102, has a different kind of appeal, with its tightly-wound spiral arms and understated, but charming, appearance.

NGC 4102 lies in the northern constellation of Ursa Major (The Great Bear). It contains what is known as a LINER, or low-ionization nuclear emission-line region, meaning that its nucleus emits particular types of radiation — specifically, emission from weakly-ionized or neutral atoms of certain elements. Even in this sense, NGC 4102 is not special; around one third of all nearby galaxies are thought to be LINER galaxies.

Many LINER galaxies also contain intense regions of star formation. This is thought to be intrinsically linked to their centers but just why, is still a mystery for astronomers — either the starbursts pour fuel inwards to fuel the LINERs, or this active central region triggers the starbursts. NGC 4102 does indeed contain a starburst region towards its center, where stars are being created at a rate much more furious than in a normal galaxy. This star formation is taking place within a small rotating disk, around 1000 light-years i...

I’m trying to think of a way to convince Pops to move to this park. It’s got soft green grass, people to admire me, and squirrels. It’s perfect!

Mum, are you sure this is Canada? I’ve seen @caseychasem.bsky.social ‘s videos and they don’t look anything like this. Mum: Canada’s a big country. It doesn’t all look the same. Me: Okay, but I still think you might have stopped in Seattle by mistake.

My feet slip on this floor so Mum got me these socks. They keep me from slipping, but I don’t like them. Mum promises she will buy rugs for me to walk on so I don’t need hospital socks. I hope she doesn’t forget.

I’ve been having a great time. I met two new friends, I took my humans out for patrol, and Mum seems really pleased about something called elections. I don’t know what that is but I hope it’s tasty.

Patrolling the neighborhood with both of my humans may be favorite activity that doesn’t involve eating. Only treats could make it better. Did you bring any Mum?
