Claude was playing with a Hello Kitty bracelet I got when I went to Pride during college. He doesn’t usually like playing with toys but he loved the bracelet (and shredded it 😆). I still have part of it though. And Ben was just doing some of his cute tricks.
I recently adopted Rufus, a Jack Russell, Rat terrier mix from my brother and sister-in-law.
He has become too much of an old curmudgeon for them to want him around the children. Which makes sense.
He's been such a good boy.
He's old, hard of hearing, and set in his ways but after a month or so we've had little to no issue settling in together he seems happy with it. Hopefully things keep going well.
When Misty came to work with me last weekend, a man came in to collect the money for a local dog rescue. And he asked me if she was a rescue then continued the conversation into older people should adopt old rescue dogs because if they get a young dog from a breeder, the dog will have nowhere to go if they pass before the dog and the family can't take the dog/doesn't want it... And I was just like. If I weren't on the clock right now, I'd at the very least have said that any good breeder would take the dog back... He even directly asked me, "what would happen to your beautiful designer dog if something happened to you and your partner?" I had to bite my tongue so hard.
i think the more time goes by the more i dislike russell crowe's depiction of jack aubrey. i think maybe i am as forgiving in my criticism of it because its the only (visual) depiction we have...
