It’s great isn’t it? a month ago it was more like a mane

Indeed. But when you get to know him, it’s more of a “it looked like I was missing out on some attention” move

Oh wow! I have heard that their skin is very fine and difficult to stitch. Luckilly we’ve only had to deal with it one with our now missed Monty. I am sure Greta will be stocked to come back home.

Both of ours are whippets but pretty large ones. Louie is having a testicle removed that had started growing rapidly. The vet is not concerned though. He had been a Cryptorchid since we got him so they never dropped. But one of them is now acting up. The vet has let us be there when he wakes up from surgery because we couldn’t bear him waking up alone…

Get well soon! We all hate vet visits don’t we?

Louie (the the left) has been to the vet today too. It was a suspected prostata infection but it turned out to be a very stubborn bladder infection. He’s going into surgery next month for a different issue but we are confident he’ll be fine. He also has SLO so he is out special needs boy (at 9 years old).

I can hear Poles being offended

Texas taking notes

It’s like they are using AI to make up new rules and laws

Sounds just like Russia

I am quite sure that even Hamas wouldn’t rape their own…

Wow… Plot twist! He actially rapes Israeli soldiers!

I believe that they did it to a Van Gogh painting which actually was more note worthy as that was not behind bullet proof glass

The painting, which was behind bulletproof glass, appeared to be undamaged.

This is why education is important.

I believe it was for Turkey to let Sweeden in not Finland. They had already accepted Finland. Non the less, selling weapons to both sides of a conflict is generally seen as bad practice

We’ll sell you 40 F35 and a free gift, so that you can defend against the 40 F16s that we sold to your enemy last week (as well as upgrades to 79 of them that they already had

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin continues to show that Russia is not interested in serious peace negotiations

At least they call him out for being a dictator.
