🐾 All Paws Airlift 🐾

🚨 LOCATED IN MINNESOTA 🚨

Cordelia is a soft, elegant sweetheart. She’s fully kennel-trained, and has never had an accident.

She strolls calmly on a leash, avoids chewing on anything she shouldn’t, and is just beginning to enjoy the excitement of toys.

Update, Redux: This very fine gentledog is on his way to Issaquah, where he will have an acre of property to patrol like a champ. If it works out, he'll stay there ❤️

So like…this Pyrenees was tied up and left outside all day (after having been on the lam for a day or two) and I’d rather feel guilty for taking him to a shelter than think about him being stuck outside all night, so here we are. Locals? Anyone got room for a big sweetie boy?

Folks following the ramblings of Nobody Nursery may know of a recent project I took on, which was to cross-reference roughly 1500 relationships between Washington's native flora and the caterpillars of almost 700 species of butterfly and moth. As I roll this info out . . .
Online store entry for Polygonum paronychia, with highlight on the sections for "Known ethnobotanical uses", "Pollinated by", "Potential caterpillar host for", and "Provenance"

Sun is out in PNW 🤭. Sapsucker doing sapsucker things. This tree was damaged by fire a few years ago.
Sapsucker with red head and breast, black wings and lighter salt and pepper belly and back working holes on a partially burned tree. Rows of drill marks exist in the trunk. Moss covered branches above. Sun visible through thin cloud layer. Just an orb in clouds.

i like these home details designed for pets

IG meredithsterninteriors
Two photos. The first shows a dog next to some pull out cabinets. One of the drawers reveals a dog food bowl. The other shows some space underneath some cabinets, so the food bowls can stay out of the way for humans but be accessible for a pet. Two photos. One shows a room divider that rolls out to separate two rooms, while neatly tucking into a wall when not in use. Another shows a crate the same color as a desk, shelf, and wall, where a dog can sleep. Two photos. Both show wash areas specifically built for pets. A dog is peeking out of a tub in one photo. Two photos. One shows a glass door with a small windowpane that can open for a pet to pass through. Another shows a door, where one of the panel swings open for a pet.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
