D o n + T o s h

I don’t care what anyone says … I’m not giving up on my Dream.

Ever notice how some people are much shorter than most, and some are much taller? Most of us are “average” or somewhere in the middle. Do we hate short & tall people and make them use separate bathrooms? No? Well, the same variety exists in gender as well, sooo…..

On this #TerrierTuesday for #DogsOfBlueSky - a shoutout to my buddy, Mischief @airedalesrule.bsky.social I can’t pass abandoned upholstery without thinking of you. I think St. Cloud, Minnesota might be a little too far for you to inspect for yourself, so I’m sending my own inspection your way.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBlueSky Shoutout to all my terrier buds and puppy peeps. It’s our special day … let’s make the most of it. Sniff something stinky.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky I’m currently traveling and so Tosh is visiting cousins while I’m gone. It’s been a week and I miss her. She always misses me too when I’m away … I can tell by the way she attacks me upon my return. At home, this is the face that greets me in the morning.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky For some reason Tosh challenged me to a staring contest. …She won.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky The mighty Airedale Terrier; ever vigilant; always on the alert.

Trumps “agenda” is inseparable from his entire life’s trajectory: cheat to win; steal to enrich; cause intentional harm to anyone who doesn’t worship me; destroy what you have and rebuild it as mine.

Incredibly generous to pre-approve my wife for life insurance. She’s been dead for nearly 3 years. I’m tempted to complete the application and see what happens. Seriously…it’s just a painful reminder of my loss. Capitalism…cheaper to mail to dead people than revise their mailing list. Fukkers.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBlueSky It’s that special day of the week when terriers give Blue Sky their high-quality Sniff Test and vote paws up 🐾 ⬆️ or paws down 🐾 ⬇️. Tosh always likes a road trip. She knows there’s always something fun waiting for her at the end.

Here’s my election message. Feel free to pass it on.

#WontLookWednesday #DogsOfBluesky

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky This is the week. We’re announcing today because #TerrierThursday isn’t a thing and she wants to make sure all her Bluesky Buds have ample time for gift buying.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky A random flashback to the time Tosh got a bad tummy ache. I’m holding her to comfort her while we’re waiting for the vet and the thing is, she looks like a GIANT PUPPY! I’m not a little guy (almost 6’ tall) and Tosh is just 4-1/2 months old in this pic. A big baby.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky Terriers live by their nose. I’m sure, after this quick sniff analysis, Tosh knows exactly who was sitting in this chair, how much they weigh, and what they last had to eat.

I wonder who in the world she could be talking to.

Every day the news is nothing more than a collection of lies. “Oh, he said this but before he said this, then contradicted what he said before.” We are living awash in lies and all the press seems able to do is mirror the lies. I just grew up thinking it was different - better - than this.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBlueSky #Helper Tosh is incredibly helpful. Every day she helps keep me from becoming a stationary object by insisting I get out of bed. But especially in the hot summertime, she helps by tirelessly keeping the bug & fly population under control.

He’s a Senator - “servant of the people.” There’s rules & laws. There’s a process. Can we get a court order to prove he’s still above ground for chrissake?

I saw this today on CBS Sunday Morning (yeah, CBS sucks and I mostly avoid it … but it’s Sunday morning). It is a solid gold perspective on aging (I’m a year older than Ted) presented in a fun way. This is how I try to live…especially #4: evolution is the key to existence. youtu.be/CpE-Efz0SLk?...

I’ve been thinking about the way cartoonists always caricature Felon47 with the yellow comb-over. I think it’s time to start depicting him as he really is … bald with that ridiculous vain attempt to hide it … maybe cue-ball bald with a few feathery yellow strings across.

Every time I see this it makes me happy, so I’m sharing it in case it makes you happy too.

#TerrierTuesday #Gotcha #DogsOfBlueSky Almost 4 years ago we drove 130 miles to pick out and pick up Tosh. Puppies are terribly cute … Airedale puppies are off the charts. These pics were taken at the lakeside home where she was born. A beautiful day. (I have included a pic of her parents.)

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky It’s good to be a dog.

My answer when anyone asks, “How are you doing?”.

America is losing so much, so quickly. We must have really been tired of winning to put the losers in charge.

Just like the “assassination” attempts. The queen of vindictiveness (that’s Trump) would be parading pictures of the dead assassin and praising HIS Secret Service … and relentlessly investigating their histories to find an ANTIFA connection. Instead, nothing’s said and we barely know their names. 🤔

#TerrierTuesday #TongueOutTuesday It’s another beautiful day in the state of Minnesota. Tosh sends greetings to all her fellow #DogsOfBluesky.

#TerrierTuesday Cleaning out the basement, found an old post card I hung onto for some 30 years. This was before we even had a dog … just always loved Airedale’s.

#ObamaAppreciationDay

TOMORROW!!! #NoKingsDay 🇺🇸

This popped up in my iTunes shuffle today … reminded me of the timelessness of oppression and hypocrisy. Great parody on Dylan with ideas from 20+ years ago that still resonate today. From Dan Bern … “Talkin’ Al Kida Blues” artweb.org/Music/Talkin...

Loving this …

This Aussie is spot on, it will take years or decades to get rid of capitalism from the government. It’s not just Trump, it’s everything behind him, oligarchs, money, corruption, corporations etc. How can we fix this?

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky Today we have Tosh demonstrating extreme patience (a rare attribute in Airedale’s) while I retrieve the ball she abandoned in the hockey rink we use as a play area.

We know what democracy is and how it works. We know what Kleptocracy is and how it works. Fools are being led around by their grudges to ignore who they are and how they got here. I’m all in on the Constitution … who’s with me?

To my brother Roy and friend Dale. I tried to tell you, it’s not about politics. I would never allow a schism over something as petty as politics. It’s about you … your ethics, your morals, and your willingness to support a criminal fascist regime. You’re so deeply offended … I’m just very very sad.

#TerrierTuesday #DogsOfBluesky 7 week old Airedale puppies.

You wanna know what’s wrong with America today? HINT: It’s not this woman or her choices.

Dunzo!

I literally grew up on CBS … trusting Edward R. Murrow & Walter Cronkite … Elvis making his first national TV appearance on Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey’s show, “Stage Show” … all on the little Philco black & white TV. Tonight, CBS will get its last peek from my eyeballs 👀. When Colbert’s gone, so am I.

Corruption in the world is a given. The story of America’s decay will be the story of those who supported (and, astonishingly, still support) him. Either there will be a full force crime & reconciliation effort … or we are done as a society.
