‘No Kings’ rallies are always scheduled early in the day, so everyone can get home in time to watch Matlock.
Nobody knows what these dotards are trying to say. I wish his highness, the exalted Trump, would call out the pikeman to drive these peasants back to Cracker Barrel or the senior center.
I have laundry baskets, but they are holding plastic balls from the snack pit as the foam rubber continues to air dry. Besides, this is about the most adorable sight to wake up to.
I pulled everything out of the dining room, Murphy’s Oil soaped the floor, and took the rug out to the deck to scrub. I rinsed it with the power washer, then hung it on the cable run to dry. By late afternoon, it was starting to rain a little, so I brought it in.
By early evening, the rain had turned into a thunderstorm. Storms make Sparky anxious, so I gave him the last chunk of pig ear to distract him. While I was making dinner, my cute, but thankless pup brought the greasy pig ear into the dining room to eat on the clean rug.
Everything is back to normal.
Most of the day, Sparky didn’t know what was going on. Rusty wasn’t here, but we also weren’t having fun. It was worse than that. All of his favorite stuff was gone, so he spent the day in dreadful contemplation.
This morning, I took Rusty to the Cleveland APL. It’s off of West 14th, so I told him we were going to Tremont. Dogs like the sound of that.
Rusty is a great catch. He is three years old, has no nuts and good teeth. That’s the golden triad of appealing dog attributes.
Rusty is going to the Cleveland APL tomorrow morning. This is our typical breakfast and dinner, and I didn’t want to forget it.
It can take several weeks to get an appointment to bring in a dog, but we got a slot two days after the call. It’s better to get it over with. Rusty is a very good dog. I hate to give up on him, but It’s best for Sparky, and for me, and I hope it works out for Rusty.
We are working on something to make Rusty an appealing dog to adopt.
Until today, Sparky was good at every task that pays off with a treat. He can’t hope to compete on this one.
Valerie Perrine passed away today at 82 years old. That’s her on the left. The other woman is Caitlyn Jenner1.
Valerie was a minor league hottie, but was in some memorable movies like Superman and Slaughterhouse Five. She did topless scenes, which we liked, but could look really rough when she didn’t put in the effort.
One role she had was in a series that I had only heard of recently. It came out in the 1980’s. It’s called, Faerie Tale Theatre. The name and production values look like soft-core porn parody, but the actors are A-listers. Valerie Perrine appears with Billy Crystal and Jeff Goldblum.
