I’ve made The Appointment for Phineas, tomorrow morning. He got through Thanksgiving with smiles and wags and ball chasing, slowed down perceptibly yesterday, and is now staggering and crying loudly every time he stands up. It was a good year in remission. It was a good life.
A black and white dog with extremely perky ears about to lick a large toad under a patio table at night, after which he will spend an hour drooling, coughing, and pawing at his face, because toads are icky. A black and white dog with extremely perky ears lying regally on a red Persian rug, with his front paws crossed like a fancy boi. A black and white dog with extremely perky ears smiles while reclining on a gray couch next to a red pillow. He smiles broadly at the camera, because he’s been playing with the chartreuse green ball lying on the couch ne t to him.

That’s a green plover, also called the northern lapwing. This is a snipe.
A snipe, which has variegated brown and cream feathers and a very long beak, sitting in grass.

What’s your sign
A green sign with a silhouette of a white bear. The main text at the bottom reads, Be Bear Aware, while smaller text inside the bear says, You are no longer at the top of the food chain beyond this point.

Serendipitous post placement ftw!
A screenshot of an X post from Jamie Bonkiewicz (is that a real name?) that says ‘Weird how those of us on the Left have despised Marjorie Taylor Greene for years and she never needed security until yesterday, because of her own party.’ directly above a quote from Walt Whitman (@skeetsofgrass.bsky.social) reading, ‘I cannot define my satisfaction .. yet it is so,’.

A screenshot of a post from @accountablegop.bsky.social reading ‘Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case...Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile... He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls...He wasn't into like 8 year olds... There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."’ and a reply from @elliosenor.bsky.social reading "He was into barely legal fatal stabbings, like he stabbed people two, three times. He wasn't into, like, stabbing people 90 times."

A vast army of soldiers wearing peaked helmets and plate-mail armor and carrying round shields has assembled on a dusty, level plain, with a distant mountain behind them. Their signaling standards, 12 feet tall, topped with a stylized crane in flight over red banners, rise like a forest above the throng. They raise the battle-cry that strikes terror into the hearts of all who hear it: Ratio! Ratio!

Post something random or you’ll have an awful November.
A quad chart meme labeled ‘Whoa Black Betty’ with the quadrants, clockwise from the upper right, being pictures of Bramble Jam, Rambutans, Panda Lamps, and Pam Ballam. Now I have that song stuck in my head, thanks earworm DJ

Two stills from the Simpsons. In the first, a dejected looking Bart says the last use of the guillotine was in France in 1977. In the second, Homer tries to cheer Barr up by saying, the most recent use of the guillotine was in France in 1977.

What do you bet his name was actually Aaron Hedgeh?
A brown door with a sign reading ‘Dr. A Hedgeh’ with a typewritten note posted under it. The note reads: WARNING: To whoever keeps adding "og" to my doorsign, if I catch you, you are dead. Dr. A Hedgeh’ with the letters ‘og’ handwritten after the signature.

I think not.
A sepia-tone image of General William Tecumseh Sherman with his right hand tucked into the front of his dark, formal uniform jacket. He is giving major side eye to something to his 9 o’clock, which his stern expression suggests he does not approve of at all. The caption reads, ‘lighter flicking intensifies’.

Still one of my favorite RATM comment-threads
A screenshot of a Twitter thread in which someone asks Tom Morello lead singer of rage against the machine. I want to know what machine these guys thought you were raging against in a political way. Someone else replies I really hate printers with a GIF of the scene from the office where the guys beat a printer with baseball bats. A third person chimes in, they are evil!

Unsolicited lick pic
A small black-and-white dog is licking a window with a pink tongue. The window is smudged, as if he has licked it many times, and his expression is derpy, as if he will lick it many more.

Phineas lobotomized his ‘indestructible’ Kong frog less than an hour after receiving it
A plush green dog toy shaped like a frog with the back of its neck torn out with almost surgical precision. The red squeaker from inside lies neutralized beside it along with a couple of white fluffs of stuffing.

At least you didn’t cause the whole mess by reading the Latin graffiti scrawled on the basement wall out loud.

Seresto collars, specifically, are apparently problematic 😬

biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...
A Reddit post from r/BackpackingDogs A note of caution regarding Seresto collars I was looking into tick protection for my dog and noticed that one of the most popular recommendations was the Seresto collars, usually on its own but occasionally in combination with topical/oral treatments. Just as l was about to place an order for a Seresto collar, I found this notice issued just a few months ago (Feb 2024) that highlights a lot of potential issues with the Seresto collar. Here's the link: https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/federal-watchdog-blasts-epas-failure-to-assess-safety-of-pesticides-used-on-flea-tick- collars-2024-02-29 I'm sure it works well and it's up to you to determine what makes the most sense in regards to your pet (and weighing the trade-offs of using what might be a less effective tick prevention method versus the potential harmful side effects of the collar), but I figured I'd share this so that you can ultimately make the decision for yourself and your furry friend. Here are the highlights of the article: Following more than 100,000 reports of Seresto's harm to pets - including more than 3,000 deaths — the EPA announced in July 2023 that it would limit approval of the product to five years and require more detailed reporting of harm incidents from the flea collar's maker, Elanco.
