Haβ€”my first dog Romeo was a big dopey angel of love, so easy & easy-going. Current dog is a stray from Alabama who birthed a pup in lock up before getting sent to Minnesota. 4 years later she’s still learning how to live with humans. Some dogs are easy, some are really not, but wonderful nonetheless

If my 8th grade class was having a reunion, it would be worth the cost of a flight and hotel room to make sure I wasn't anywhere in the vicinity

And recycled from last year, too. I'm hoping that I missed a previous article evaluating fish options at local places like the Anchor or Mac's?

a trail cam shot of a black bear standing on its hind legs with its mouth wide open, looking kinda scary. Taken from a Zillow ad for a place with 1 bedroom and no bathroom for $390K

You can mute reposts in general (though not for a specific user). I do, it makes my timeline much nicer

A dog's head rests peacefully on her person's lap. This photo is actually a few weeks old, but my phone is across the room and I can't take a new one. Currently the dog is fast asleep.

Okay, I know complaining about prices at the Seward Co-op is a song as old as time, but what's with the $24 charge to remain a member? what the fuck?

Especially bad on a morning when they clearly had twice the number of staff they needed
