Today we say goodbye to Chloe, our papillon/dachshund mix.

She was a rescue dog, always a little high anxiety, but the smartest dog we've ever had. She has TCC (transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder) and we treated her without chemo or radiation, but with an NSAID and some bladder support tablets. She was given 6 months and lived 17 months after diagnosis.

Go find Jack, Harley, Pumba, Jimmy the feral cat, and Grandpa Fran, Chloe, and introduce yourself to Scamp, Kelly, and Abby.

Daddy, Blake, and I will see you later. We love you immensely.

I have 8 more hearts to give out - do you need one?

Every year, I search for posters who have no hearts and give mine away. It's middle school all over again! Some have an abundance of hearts, some are bereft.

Make me happy by helping me give my last 8 away!

Thousands Sign Christian Petition Urging Bishops Not to Back Donald Trump

Thousands have signed a progressive Christian group's petition calling for Catholic bishops to drop support for ex-President Donald Trump.

Faithful America, which backs social justice causes and opposes "Christian nationalism," urged Catholics to condemn bishops who "boost the Christofascist campaign of Donald Trump" in a recently launched online petition that had been signed by over 12,500 as of Friday afternoon.

The group mentioned in particular the "disturbing praise of Trump" from Archbishop of New York Timothy Dolan and former Bishop Joseph Strickland, of Tyler, Texas, "inappropriately" endorsing a sermon that erroneously claimed Democrats cannot be Catholic.

Faithful America urged Catholics to sign the petition because "Pope Francis has been clear: Bishops should behave in a more pastoral manner than this," while asserting that "Christian-nationalist politicians like Donald Trump and their vile, hate-based policies do not speak for us -- or for Jesus."
