Katie Zacharia only lasted half a Scaramucci.

The featured headline of this post from WaPo is “What will El Niño bring where you live?” I was expecting it to be a wet winter but apparently it’ll be a Dior purse.

Friends, if you’ve missed all things “Jimothy”, we’ve a raccoon in Seattle with short spine syndrome. Like other animals we’ve loved, he looks like he’s made of mismatched Legos. He’s now famous. Proof? Google “Jimothy” (you might have to click the green paw print.) & watch your screen. #uglydogs

Went out the back door this morning and, huh, 2 of the glass floats that usually float in a basin were rolling around on the deck. I definitely remember them being there last night. So how…?? Pulled up the overnight footage from the spotlight cam. Aha! I had a lil’ visitor!

@quincemountain.bsky.social Checking in to see how you’re doing. Looks like your air quality may be bad.

I love my yard in the spring.

#uglydogs I love it when my interests collide. From Malamute Planet over on FB.

#uglydogs My fav clothing company Duluth Trading Co. is featuring WI musher & 2025 Iditarod finisher Emily Ford (@emilyontrail on IG) in their email blast today & in this really nice short video about her Lost Key Kennel. @duluthtrading.bsky.social #mushertwitter

Got a new bumper sticker. Shortly thereafter, I learned that my five-year-old great niece is a *much* better reader than I realized. #daddywhatdoesthatwordmean

Our Honest Dog Books’ Charly Ray is running for WI state senate! (As per HDB’s email today) Go Charly!

When the world (well, my country anyway) feels so f-d up, it’s good to have an amaryllis. It grows fast, it’s pretty and it requires zero effort from me. Thank you Trader Joe’s!

This is my punishment for shopping on Am*z*n. Someone (preferably fluent in “disgruntled driver”) please explain to me how they think I will get out the door to retrieve these? #packagejenga

My around-the-corner neighbors house and their next door neighbor’s house.

I have watched more baseball this series than I have in the last 15 years. Gadzooks, what a good series it’s been!

#uglydogs Poor Kotzebue got hit again with the most recent storm surge. 2-4 feet above normal high tide and water 30+ feet farther inland.

#igivearod is the gift that keeps on giving. Received a packet of thank you’s from one of the classrooms we supported (snacks for the students) last year. Love the colors, the artwork and - bonus! - a little Gwich’in thrown in! #uglydogs #donorschoose

It’s pancake time!! 🎉 #uglydogs @otterrunkennel.bsky.social

#uglydogs Sweet interview with Blair by Julie Buckles of Honest Dog Books about “The Day Leap Soared.” honestdogbooks.shelf-awareness.com/sar-issue.ht...

Another one for the “Dogs With Cool Jobs” file. #uglydogs

#uglydogs #mushersky Do yourself a favor. Robinson Racing has posted on FB about the wildfire crew that’s camped near their kennel meeting & snuggling their brand new litter of puppies. So sweet. 😍

“A purely financial decision” my ass! (unless they mean “This was part of our $16 million settlement with Trump.”)

I had a housemate in college who took a summer job picking fruit in an E. WA orchard. He lasted one day. One. People picking our food deserve 1) a living wage and 2) not to live in fear of kidnapping.

And now, in “Funny ‘Cause It’s True…”

Me and COOOOKIE, representing at our local rally today! 🍪#nokings

Jeff King can do political smack talk with the best of ‘em. #mushersky #uglydogs

New flag on the house! “Immigrants Make America Great” Easily half my neighbors are new to the U.S. Most of the pro-immigration flags were so dark & somber. Severe, almost threatening. If I’m celebrating my diverse neighborhood, why not do it with joy & color? #beTHAThouseintheneighborhood

#uglydogs #mushersky I don’t know who is coaching these junior mushers on “donor relations” (it’s likely just good parenting) but these sweet kids are earning supporters for life!

Timeline Cleanse: Opening Day at the Bellevue Farmers Market. Pita bread, flowers, strawberries, multigrain bread, honey & sugar crisp apples, organic chives & cilantro, salad mix & the yummiest blueberry & almond tarts you ever tasted. (Dang it! I forgot rhubarb!)
