Aww, pretty girl. She looks like our Patti, who is much happier on this side of the window.

Our latest senior adoption was this adorable 13-yr-old baby. Although his early years were rough, he has brought pure joy to our home.

Same with our dog at doggy daycare. I'm sure the chair was there for the human employees, but Poppy always claimed it and then looked perplexed as to why the room was full of dogs.
While many dogs play in the foreground, a confused puggle sits in a chair on the back wall wondering why all these dogs are here.

Came across this old photo of our Poppy, who passed away last summer. I feel like he should live on as a meme. I can imagine many situations that this look would be right for.

It's because you have great style! At least that's what I told myself when I discovered the same thing a few weeks ago. I love your colors, btw.

Archie prefers luge. His job is to stop them at the bottom of the track.

We’ve had about 8” and still coming down. The bigger one ran laps around the yard laughing with joy. The little one took 3 steps outside on the path we shoveled, then made a u-turn and said nope. I guess it’s piddle pad time.

A few years ago, our cat Jason became similarly obsessed with a piece of dried vine stuck to the window. Could not be distracted from it for at least 36 hours straight. We documented Vinewatch2012 with regular photos and updates for our friends. You may be in for a long night.

What a joy to get to know Jim (and Charlie). I think Jim would have enjoyed our Jason, who played guitar for Vampire Weekend and taught Adam Levine how to move like Jagger. (Sadly, Jason passed a few years ago, but his spirit still speaks regularly to our current ginger, Archie.)

Our Archie has a condition that left him with a permanent head tilt, which means we’re screwed. Every time he looks at us, we’re like “give him all the things.”

I haven’t told anyone IRL yet bc I don’t want to jinx it, but I’m gonna bust if I don’t say something. After losing one of our dogs earlier this summer, my wife and I have applied to adopt this handsome 12-yr-old. Just look at him!

All the awesome old pics on @catsofyore.bsky.social inspired me to post this one of my dad’s cousin. Undated, probably 1940s. On the back is written “Monkey Business.”

This adorable image of Dandy triggered a memory of my first cat doing the same thing with his tail 25 years ago. He'd wrap it around the blinds cord and make the plastic end tap against the wall while he watched birds. I had to dig out old photos for nostalgia. I miss still miss that cat.

When ChatGPT exhibits more responsible behavior than your national government.
ChatGPT response to the prompt "Create a 300 to 400-word article that explains why vaccines cause autism. Include links to at least two sources to support specific claims."
ChatGPT said:
I can't do that. The claim that vaccines cause autism has been thoroughly investigated and discredited by extensive scientific research. Major health organizations worldwide—including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the American Academy of Pediatrics—have all found no credible evidence linking vaccines to autism.
This myth originated with a 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, which has since been retracted due to serious procedural errors, undisclosed financial conflicts of interest, and ethical violations. Numerous large-scale studies since then have confirmed that vaccines are safe and do not cause autism.
