Photo of my fluffy white cat Francie, curled up asleep under my arm with one of her forelegs draped across me like a hug. I’m wearing blue and white striped pajamas with black piping.

One of my favorite things in the whole world is when I come home after being out for a few hours and Francie is always like "Peep! Peep!" and she doesn't want food, she doesn't want toys, she leads me to the couch because she specifically needs me to lie down for a snuggle. 🥹

Don’t wear masks to protect your community but a grown man can wear a dumbass hat like whenever.

Thank you for all you do. ❤️

We just pledged and others did too. Hopefully a rescue/foster will step up. California is totally out of hand.

I wish all of my purely secular blessings on the amazing people who are out there every day working to care for the animals with nowhere else to go. ❤️

Yeah. what a number we've done on this beautiful species. bred to be dependent on us, friends, partners. Then just used and cut loose.

Actually in this case it was even worse. Someone was giving away puppies nearby so they dumped the dog and came home with a puppy.

One thing many people don’t realize:

(At least in CA)

A stray dog must be held for a couple weeks in case the owner comes calling

A surrendered dog can be killed immediately because the owner has relinquished their rights.

So the most wonderful dogs are often killed first for space.

Yup. Where do we even go from there.

Beautiful golden was dumped to a deadly shelter recently because it got too big.

I didn’t plan to make this a fundraising post, I was just sad and venting. But if you’d like to help us help surrendered California dogs, we’d sure appreciate it.

It’s crazy.

New baby. No time. Traveling. Moving.
Too big. Too old. Sick.

Add to that the people being deported, laid off…

Husband and I started an org to help surrendered dogs in CA because we couldn’t sleep. (Still can’t sleep)

Happens all the time. The situation is so woefully out of control and no one seems to really care.

If I dump an old washer at the dump I have to pay a fee, and people dump a living, breathing creature who requires food and care at the shelter for nothing.

Pledged today to help a senior dog whose owner dumped her at the shelter so he could get a puppy. We really need to start talking about the current human condition because it is bleak

Real tired of people letting their dogs make puppies then leaning on the rescue community to deal with their problem. Gross.

We should crowdfund security for this brave woman so she can speak.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
