Backtalk: A Medium Place
Looks like a mouse has gotten into my dishwasher, which I don't use as a dishwasher; I use it more as a pantry, since I thought it was secure from the mice. I'll have to find someplace else to store paper bags, potatoes and potato chips. No food has been chewed, but they've chewed up a paper bag. Maybe only got in in the last day or so. I've been rolling out the heavy duty snap traps, but no luck so far.

Swing Dance Leeds: Pioneers of Lindy Hop
You can imagine how the Moms for Liberty and their ilk would've reacted to Lindy hopping kids.
Strange to think swing is nearly 100 years old.
They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.
Good evening.

It is Friday, February 23rd, 2024.
Hello and welcome to the weekly celebration of cute that is Fur Face Friday! As we slide towards the end of the second month of 2024, our fur friends in last week's comments were feeling a bit sleepy.

In case you're new here, favourites are chosen by one of the Snout Selectors (facw, k2b, Hannibal, leahaven, and myopicprophet), entirely on our own whimsy. WHIMSY! However, in the interest of solidarity, we try to select one dog picture and one cat picture (minimum!) each week. Other pets will also, of course, be considered. We love all your rats, bunnies, ferrets, and other furry, feathery, and finny pals. WE WILL NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CUTE.

One of our Fur Friends was feeling more energetic, though:

All those sweet Faces brightened our lives with their cute. Let's see who was maximizing their adorableness this week: go forth and Fur Face!
Boone continues to settle in.
I've heard some possible rodent noises in the kitchen today, but the popcorn lure is untouched, so I dunno.
I feel it deeply in my heart
How beautiful is the snow
And the clouds gathering in the west.

Well hello there. News is overwhelming as always. Navalny, Gaza, Ukraine, $400 high tops. Meanwhile a mistrial for a cop who shot a man holding a deadly sandwich. Another cop Henny Pennys his early retirement. I mean, I hate acorns too but am sensible enough to know I can't stop the deadly scourge of oak saplings that way. Let the acorns win.
Oops, I started this post and then with the events of the weekend I forgot to finish it.
Here's a picturesque blue gate I saw while I was skiing this afternoon.
How's it going?

Friday! Hope you all had a lovely Valentines with your pet. We had some beauties last week, so let's take a look.
First up is a weird dog hanging out with kristenbytes' Mom:
I'll be in Prince Edward County at this point, so I may or may not be able to check in. So talk amongst yourselves.

Discount chocolate day is just around the corner ! 💌
(Disclaimer: if you’re in a romantic relationship, it’s worth it to pay full price and give it to your partner tomorrow rather than wait on the after valentine sales.)
