I'd like to say a big sarcastic "THANKS" to the online dog-advice websites (there were several) who suggested putting down coffee grinds to stop dogs from digging up your lawn.
Not only did Rocky-beagle find the smell intensely PLEASANT, he roled in each hole, then ATE said grounds.
I now have a thoroughly caffeinated dog, whose coat smells of- and sheds coffee, who will probably grow coffee plants out his ass.
@Violetvelvet definitely 😊

I would expect any course covering Zoology, however I can recommend an excellent book on the topic:
Queer Ducks (and Other Animals): The Natural World of Animal Sexuality https://a.co/d/0yCcHWI
@SassySherry7 I hope you make a rapid and full recovery.
We’ve used the modern #alphabet in English #writing since the 16th Century. Language lover #RobWords explores how every letter from A to Z got its start, the hidden meanings in each one, how they’ve changed over the years, and even where we got the word “alphabet” from. The whole U, V, W story is fascinating.
So the groundhog saw its shadow today signifying 6 more weeks of winter. Which just happens to be when Spring begins.🤔
Some years back, I wrote a little essay regarding this absurd little day: https://rlpastore.com/2017/02/03/groundhog-day/
@jcsimonds I'm hoping for the best for you and that includes freedom from stress from mess-ups like these.
We've had rain for three weeks, it's finally sunny outside, can we PLEASE go to the park?!? Enjoy the sun... more rain is coming! I'll have your 7-day weather forecast at 4, 5, 6, 10 & 11pm!

A Great Blue Heron skimming above the waters of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, a beautiful sight on our very cold morning #sniffari.
