It's a dawg's life! Rudy and Daisy were thrilled with my epic fail at poached eggs. They had a breakfast of Sardines and eggs garnished with fresh cilantro and red peppers.

@JGSchaeffer Aww, lovely pics. They certainly do not know their own size, though. I actually have two of them, and they both try to be lap dogs at the same time.

Me and me crazy Dawg Rudy having a rock in the old lad's chair.

@AskTheDevil, I agree they can be that. My issue is that if we all go our way, the only thing left is massive polarization. There is a good book I am reading at the moment: Outrage Maschine. You should check it out.

Stop! Don't leave a social media platform to join an isolated community elsewhere. Closed-off groups and limited viewpoints are dangerous to a free and open society. The world needs โ€“ the middle path, not extremes. The is your Tribe; narrow-minded groups are notโš–๏ธ

I wonder if they have UV condoms in prison?

Hmm: a criminal who, while not directly advising, advocated drinking bleach and performing rude acts with UV lights wants to run again for President? I would not have believed you would ever see that, even in a movie script! Or am I being too "anal?"
