Sorry folks

HUGE backlash on a 19th generation descendant getting registered, even with asterisks and disclaimers that it had "poor breeding" and couldn't be used to breed further dalmation pups

This Dalmation had spots and met all the appearance standards and had functioning kidneys but it was a "mongrel"

Hey, Mr. D!

How's you?

...I get salty

Fine. I had some insomia last night, crashed late... and then overslept, so been catching up

Also, TIL - the reason it is now a "Parson" terrier instead of a "Jack Russel" terrier is because the Russel breeders said FU to the AKC and bred for health and working ability.

Oh, I'm glad you were able to sleep it. Sorry about the insomnia, though.

And.. scrolling up, let me say I like Frenchies, but that healthier look would be a good idea and still snuggable

agreed

still has the EARS

yes! Like a bat!

Totally off topic, but I'm indulging in DEEP schadenfreude about the latest Trump stuff.

?

Last I heard there was a chance of legal action against hisfund raisers, is there something against him personally?

Allegations of tax crimes against the CFO of Trump corp.

And the big thing there is that it can lead to being able to subpoena people to testify under oath (which is the real goal).

I'm.. gunshy about getting my hopes up. But yes, good news

Agreed.

I'm home today, btw. Puttering but here.

DH made an appt to get all mil IDs renewed .... and the worldwide system crashed. Also, he drove us to the wrong office.

Oh, geez.

Hm...is FB being wonky for anybody else? Refusing to load more than a few stories in the feed?

But hell, it's like a weekend day in the middle of the week. I'll get osme stuff done and enjoy it.

Not I, but I'm not trying to load.

No, I mean, when I refresh, it'll show me like maybe six stories in my news feed, and then nothing after that, just gray.

mmm

Oh. I have had that happen, but usually it's just a slow internet.

✨ I smell minty

Minty Fresh

Yay!

Switching comps

Thing2 had a get together with his friend shortly.

Nice!

Ok, details sorted.

Yay!

They're coming here for patio time (raining and cooler here) and then going to their place for more of similar.

How far away is the other person if the climate is different? Traveling via trod?!

ha!

We definitely have "cooler by the lake" phenomenon here

No, I mean it's cooler and rainy here in general and thus not the best pool weather. Although that could change, the sun is shining just now.

Ahh, got it.

Not sure I understood that question about the trod and climate

Oh, it was a joke about Shady's Thing's event

not IC, though I was thrown for a moment too
