Donald Trump was the first president in a century not to have a dog. At a 2019 rally, Trump said that the notion of getting a dog seemed âphonyâ to him.
You know, that could at least partly explain (along with the reality of a significant move for a young dog who had already been through the ringer and ended up in a shelter) why Major has been acting up recently.
What isnât wrong with him, everybody loves puppiesâŠ
Another projection, because he was more concerned it would show others what kind of person he really is. Dogs and children can easily spot a phony, and act accordingly.

Oh boy, the kids are gonna love that.
Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) AKA the common pied oystercatcher, or palaearctic oystercatcher SörnÀisten ranta, Helsinki, Finland.
Finns named these meriharakka (sea magpie).
That makes me a little sad: our mute swans, whoâve had successful broods every year for many years now, lost half of this yearâs 6 in less than 24 hours and the rest within 48 hours of hatching. Weâre assuming snapping turtles, since these are seasoned parents who know how to protect from hawks and eagles.
Itâs been a bad year in general for waterfowl babies. Itâs amazing how depressing that is. I should be OK with âNature red in tooth and clawâ, but we just lost so many this year. It doesnât sit right.
