25. This is just the perfect thing to do

And, like grade-school arithmetic, it is way beyond the understanding of someone like Kristi Noem.

26. Maybe Gilbert and Cricket are friends together in doggie Heaven,

both the victims of MAGA psychopaths.

31. Goldens are wonderful. They get stubborn about age 8. It is their way or no way.

Hang in everyone. The dogs need us.

I have a host of reasons for not liking trump. The fact that trump does not have a dog says a great deal about trump

36. Love how the dog tried to hug Joe.

Dogs KNOW.

No, tR*mp doesn't have a dog (Eric doesn't count)--no self-respecting dog would have him. They KNOW who the good humans are. And The Felon is neither.
