I can't believe it.

Has anyone else noticed the remarkable resemblance between Stephen Miller and the late Adolf Eichmann? Could they be related?

Can't disagree!

Try explaining that to this nugget who wore a tampon on his ear on UK's far-right TalkTV to show solidarity with the 'wounded' Trump!

Is it my imagination, or is the tasteless and tacky bling in the Oval Office multiplying on a regular basis? When are the slot machines and roulette tables scheduled to arrive?

How many roubles does it take to buy your own cuddly Krasnov?

When I'm down, Ryan is always there.

Thanks for the follow. Lovely dog - what's his/her name?
This is Ryan and Bridie (Ryan's the tan lurcher).

Can't argue with that!

A lurcher is a cross between a sighthound such as a greyhound or saluki, and another breed, e.g. collie. They're valued by poachers for their strong prey-drive,and because of their shady reputation often end up as long-stay residents in rescue kennels. As companions, they're loyal and affectionate.

Hi Lizzie, and well done Jill for adopting a long-stay dog. Ryan was found abandoned and starving and spent 16 months in RSPCA kennels. Now living the best life in rural North Northumberland.

.... and off to the great outdoors.

I hope his cold gets better. There are so many beautiful walks around here. Unfortunately, as I can no longer drive, we have to depend on an unreliable bus service!

Bridie the fashion victim, wearing black in a heat-wave. Nothing like a cooling paddle in a Northumberland burn!

Why should she move from her natural habitat?

Ryan was found abandoned and starving in a derelict house, aged about a year old. He was 16 months in kennels without attracting interest. Unsurprising, given his savage nature!

Good morning! Another hard day ahead - a dog's work is never-ending! 😄
