They are adorable, but like these raccoons, may have rabies. Not sure why the parents think this is safe.

Are you sure that’s not my dog?
Tank, a basset hound/pit bull mix, looks up at the camera, knowing he gets a cookie as soon as take the photo. He’s tricolor and very handsome.

#NoKingsHouston
Two young female protesters—first with a sign that has a photo from Hamilton showing a king and reading, “When push comes to shove, I will send a full battalion to show you my love.” The second reads, “ power to the people #NoKings #NoTanks” A handmade sign sticking out from the crowd at the Houston No Kings Rally reads, “I’m expected to shield my students from bullets. Expect me to shield them from you, too. #Fuck Trump #NoKings.” A woman with black hair wearing a black ball cap in gray tank top is holding a sign which reads, “Warning!

That’s why we always have two or more dogs. Pack animals don’t do well emotionally without a companion.
Two happy dogs riding in the back seat of our old Ridgeline. One is a tricolor basset hound/ pit bull mix, the other is a black lab mix with a white blaze.
