Just in case any of you know people who like to photograph their dogs, National Puerbred Dog Day (May 1) has a huge photo contest on its Facebook page. No fee, prizes and lots of fun. I'll be posting the over 20 different challenges in the next few days...

It's time to resume dog posts! The fatigue & cough of my cold lingers, & my impossible sister is still in rehab, but this is a necessary step to feel normal again. So. Beagles.
It’s hard to imagine the Beagle as a new breed, but back in 1876, it was. That was when a Beagle was first imported into the United States, and eight years later, was accepted by the AKC. The AKC’s first registered Beagle – which happened in 1885, was named “Blunder.”
Is that a great dog name or what?
The cold that never ends. Lordy, but this one has hung on.
'How is everyone else?
Dear Pope Leo, you're taking yourself too seriously.
It's true that the Catholic Church teaches that the pope is a representative of Christ on earth, but not that a pope is his replacement.
When you say that God rejects prayers of leaders who wage war, you are stepping into a role that properly belongs only to God.
Hey Leo, you are not God.
I'm still here. Head cold.
It's Friday night cocktail time!
Oh, I know it's Wednesday, but if we all hop on a quick flight to Kiritimati in the UTC+14 time zone, it’s already Friday… so it’s officially Friday cocktails time..
Time for a Bloodhound cocktail.
What brought this to mind was the first martini I ever had that I actually liked and didn't end taking off my clothes in downtown Denver. It was a lemon drop martini that I had the night before last. I made it myself. And I remembered that I did it.
Who knew an old Bob Hope movie would have it so right:
Boo! Not dead. Busy.I emerge to share an interesting take by Sasha Stone, former hardcore leftie, now Trump voter. She once had a career writing about Hollywood. She says it's unrecoverable as it dumps what the public wants to see in favor of a woke agenda. She says AI generated movies will fill the void. Beautiful women, manly men, good plots. She cites Helen of Troy as Exhibit A. Hollywood's version's has a black Helen, & a woman plays a man. The AI version is better! https://youtu.be/WfG9pmzXq20?si=z9HROFqXZwwmIcXm
Why I've been quiet..... this happens tomorrow.....
You will never hear a better version of what made Cole Allen try to shoot up the banquet than this one. Hat tip to Greg Gutfeld:
What I've been working on:
Your dogs did WHAT?!
From “Escape from T‑Rex” walks to quiet, unforgettable moments, National Purebred Dog Day has 23 different photo contests this year—and one of them is made for your dog.
Every contest needs an “I ❤️ Purebred Dogs” or “Happy NPDD” sign in the photo, and each has its own theme and rules.
