Sparky gets comfortable.

Sparky has two crates, two additional beds, a ball pit and his own couch.   He figured the best move was to spend the night on my couch on the clean laundry that I didn’t get around to folding last night.

I don’t mind.  Not even a little bit.  Sparky isn’t a young fella anymore, so we make allowances.

When Sparky finally gets out of bed, do I put away my laundry or throw it back in the washing machine?

I don’t want to be a filthy beast man or dog boy, so I suppose I will do a load of laundry.

Warhound to create elite working dogs equipped with advanced body armor

Genetically Modified Military Dog Startup

The initial rounds of gene-editing will focus on eliminating common health conditions that impact these breeds, like hip dysplasia. Further down the line, Lamm envisions expanding to “really interesting things,” such as incorporating olfactory receptor genes from wolves to “enhance” the military dogs.

Warhound, based in Texas, will also equip its canines with “Anduril’s advanced cybernetic Augments, software, and battlefield situational awareness,” according to a press release.  Asked if this means the dogs will be some kind of cyborgs, Lamm clarifies that the plan right now is to supply them with tools like “advanced body armor” rather than, say, embedding some sort of computer in their dog bodies.

Maybe this is a good idea, but it doesn’t always work out in video games.

Sparky traps himself.

Sparky’s night crate was moved to the hallway as I was cleaning my bedroom.  His crate was standing on end.  Sparky couldn’t get in to his crate, so felt that he needed to.  I don’t know how he did it or how long he was trapped in the small bedroom, but somehow, his crate fell over and he was stuck.

With the exception of dogs who need straightened out or Black men who look like bears, Sparky doesn’t bark.  I don’t even think he would bark at turkeys anymore.  He just waited patiently for me to get him out of this jam.

Ilhan Omar Is the Right Kind of American. Trump Is the Wrong Kind.

The New Republic:  Ilhan Omar Is the Right Kind of American. Trump Is the Wrong Kind.

Ilhan Omar seems to have married her brother and lied about her age to manipulate the US immigration system.  It made me laugh that The New Republic considers her to be the “right kind of American”. 

Trump is male, pale and possibly a ginger, so that’s the wrong kind of American. 

I tried to read the article, but got 400 words in, and it still wasn’t getting to any kind of point.  I miss the top-10 list articles on Buzzfeed.
